Scotland West Coast

The jagged, fjord-like Scotland West Coast extends into the Atlantic way north beyond Ireland, and conditions deliver what a glance at the map promises: strong winds, huge swells and hearty temperatures in a far-flung country of breathtaking ...

Scotland East Coast

No less legendary is the northernmost point of the Scotland East Coast, with its big-wave spots Thurso and Dunnet Bay. As well as guaranteed uncrowded waves, you’ll also find spots nearby that suit an easterly. Follow the coast southward and the ...

North-West England

North-West England was Great Britain’s industrial heartland, better known for its steelmills and dockyards than its landscape. But there is nevertheless a spirited kite and windsurf scene here. The coast is battered by winds sweeping in over the ...

North Wales

But when Northerners are looking for that little bit extra, they head to North Wales. Just 2-3 hours from Manchester or Birmingham, it’s not uncommon to find more English than Welsh at these spots. Rhosneigr is without doubt the main event, but ...

South Wales & Bristol Channel

Das gleiche gilt auch für South Wales & Bristol Channel, eine Region, die zwei extrem kontrastreiche Reviere zu bieten hat. Zum einen die sedimentreichen, braunen Gewässer des Bristol Channel im Osten, der mit seinen enormen Tidenhüben von bis zu ...

Devon & Cornwall, South Coast

South Coast, West

Although an eternity of winter storms helped shape this part of the coast, the South Coast, West region enjoys a noticeably brighter and warmer micro-climate as the majority of rain from Atlantic lows has already been deposited over Cornwall. This ...

Isle of Wight

Roughly in the middle of the South Coast is the surprisingly large Isle of Wight– the white rock ‘Needles’ off the west coast can be seen from as far afield as Weymouth. It tends to be even sunnier here, but also noticeably windier and it ...

South Coast, East

Along the South Coast, East, the coastline becomes noticeably flatter. White cliffs give way to vast pebble beaches, shallow bays and ports such as Portsmouth and Chichester Harbour. Any SW Atlantic swell is absorbed by the Isle of Wight, so these ...

Thames Estuary

Extending east from London, the Thames Estuary opens to a vast mouth between Kent in the south and Essex in the north. Way out east you might catch some waves, but your chances of wavesailing diminish the nearer you get to the nation’s capital. ...
