Hi all,
Anyone from the south east recommend any spots for beginners?
Recently moved to Brighton, have been surfing for 8 months abroad and want to start up again.
From what I’ve seen shoreham harbour and hot pipes look for advanced/intermediate surfers? I’ll be using a 8-9ft beginner board
Thanks!
The raw-ness of SF is always something I've liked. Simple buoy data and then let your experience and deduction do the rest via windy.com and tidal factors alongside the other forecasts. For example I rate the "pink swell" that might JUST wrap in, I've had decent pink-swell surfs!
Now they're throwing in this Rusty AI summary with awkward wording like "I'll be honest with you mate, it's a bit of a slow burn"... but when you surf the south-east you are prepped for low period, your groveller is like your main shortboard so your standards are lower/different. You also know where's better-than-billed for a in hour or so due to the nuances of the tide etc.
So they've copied Surfline in trying to dictate your whole schedule ("this surf isn't worth missing anything for" -- excuse me, you have no idea how sad my life is) but with our seaside spots it just ends up being a constant bummer on your regular spots. Stop killing my vibe and slagging off my weekly session. That's for snobby try-hard Surfline. SF: You're meant to be the cool one!
Does anyone know what is going on with this? I’ve got everything crossed that it is going to be built before I am too old and decrepit to make use of it?! Not even sure if it is still going ahead?
