At high tide, there is a shingle beach to rig up and launch, there are no groins directly off this spot but there are groins and obstruction down wind. Pebbles at the top, but 2ish hours after high tide nice flat sand appears. This beach works really well in neap tide and is ridable in most tide states.
3mm wetsuit in the summer, 5mm in spring and autumn. Surfing is all year round for those who don't mind the cold. The sea is up at 16°C in summer and down to 6°C in winter. Season April to November.
Littlehampton is a easy drive from London, Brighton and Portsmouth. It is served by major roads and Railway stations, the A27 is a major coastal road and Littlehampton is well sign post and the same goes for the A24 which comes down from London. From Brighton seafront, head west for 20 min along the coast, pass Shoreham (another good spot) and you will see a car park and a grass area. Good car parking on the beach front with car parking in swimming pool across from the beach all of which you have to pay for.
Rigging area is from the far east beach hut to the shelter. The beach is popular in the summer, always ask a local if unsure and if there is no one out there is normally a good reason.
