Camber Sands Windsurfing Guide
General info
Windsurfing ratings
Camber sands, on the Kent and Sussex border, has consistent onshore breezes throughout the season and shallow water due to a tidal range of about a mile which makes it an excellent location for windsurfers and kitesurfers taking their first dip in open sea. Ryewatersports runs BKSA approved kitesurfing courses, so facilities are also available to get in to kitesurfing for the first time.
The shape of the coast means that if the wind is the wrong angle it is likely sailable round the corner at Dungeness ( to the east ) or Pevensey ( to the west ). A look at the Big Salty best locations of the day will indicate the locations that best suit the wind direction.
Features
The shallow shelving sands make for a good location for learning.
Considerations
Be aware of tidal movements here since this is at the narrowest part of the channel, never go out to far and this shouldn't be a problem.
