Welcome to www.shorehamweather.info and the page dedicated to Boarders active along the South Coast and in particular Southwick, Shoreham and Lancing Beaches. The Beaches are now a major venue for all forms of board riding ie surfing, wind surfing and kite surfing. Surfing is mainly confined to Southwick Beach end of Shoreham and occasionally between the Harbour Arms. Wind surfing and kite surfing can be found all the way from the Harbour entrance to Lancing and onto Worthing. Kite surfing has really taken off (excuse the pun) in recent years and Shoreham is probably one of the foremost sites in the country for this new exciting sport. A number of local retailers have sprung-up over the last five years, offering specialist equipment and training facilities for board riders of all persuasions (see adverts to the left).

• Check the forecast before heading out in case the weather is forecast to turn extreme !
• Try and notify someone where you're going and when you are expected back.
• If ever you're unsure about the rules associated with the beach DO ask in one of the local shops (especially new summer time rules).
• Keep an eye out for other surfers in trouble and always offer safety advice if you feel they need it.
• Wear a helmet and buoyancy aid.
• Drop work if the conditions look epic.

• Rig up and attempt to launch up wind of other beach users.
• Launch your kite if there is a huge mean black cloud about to hit.
• Launch your kite anywhere other than the edge of the wind.
• Fly kites without safety releases and leashes.
• Try and teach your self, have at least one lesson at a proper kit school.
