Shoreham
Edit SpotAbout
Busy at low/mid though plenty of space so it's alright.
Atmosphere:
Mid/Low is generally a longboard/mal wave unless a reasonable size wave.
High tide is a bodyboard wave on most days unless you're brave or have an old board and don't mind getting a few dings!
Can get pretty hollow at high as well with a good air section!
Additional Info:
You have too get the tides just right or u will miss what small swell there is.
Watch out for the second fence at high tide on heavy days as can be difficult to pull off of wave!!!
