Suitability: Very popular with beginners for many years as it is enclosed on 3 sides and pretty safe
feeling.
Wind & Tide: As long as there is not too much North in the wind it works from East, through South and through to West. A strong South-easterly here will bring out it's most challenging side, giving good "bump and jump" conditions for experts. In most other wind directions though it is pretty flat.
Facilities.: There are plenty of facilities in Oxwych village. Also lots of campsites close by.
Kitesurfing: Possible, but the winds do tend to be gusty. Also beware of crowds in the summer.
Surfing: Requires an unusual south east swell, and a really big one too! Happens rarely, but when it does it's fantastic.
Location.: It is just to the East of Horton, turn off the A4118 a couple of miles before and follow the signs. Access to the water continues to be difficult for those with vans, as there is a height restriction barrier in the car park. This can be avoided by rigging up in front of the sea wall (on double yellows) before parking!
