More about Brighton West Pier surfspot

General: Long, rolling, waves that are popular with longboarders, form close to the remnants of the burnt out West Pier. Better on lower tides, usually onshore, this is a cruisy spot. Most locals head elsewhere when a proper swell kicks in. Tides: Low to mid. Size: Waist to head high. Wind: N Swell: E windswells, SW groundswells Bottom: Sand. Paddling: OK when small, long paddle when bigger. Spot Rating: Go with the right mindset and it'll be fun.

OK for those with low expectations or beginners. Watch out for rips.

Parking is pretty limited unless you can snag one of the few Beachfront bays.

September - February are best when the big swells roll into the Channel.

Crowd Factor: If its breaking OK, it won't be quiet. Local Vibe: Pretty chilled.

Not amazing.
