Brighton - West Pier surf guide

Brighton - West Pier is a popular surf spot located in Brighton. It’s known for its laid-back vibe, making it a go-to place for surfers, especially those who prefer a more relaxed experience. The area can get quite busy, and parking may not be the easiest to find as it tends to be expensive.

The waves here are generally on the slower side, which is why it's a good place for beginners. The best swell direction is from the SouthWest, but you'll also get some action with swells coming from the East. The spot can handle swell sizes starting from 1ft (about 0.3 meters). Waves break over sand, providing decent left and right options. Low tide is often the best time to catch some waves, and when the wind is coming from the North, the conditions tend to be more favorable.

While the wave quality isn't the most thrilling, and the sandbanks aren’t what they used to be, it can still be a fun place to catch a few long rides, especially if you’re on a longboard. Just keep in mind, it might not be the best surf you’ve ever had, but it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking to paddle out.
