Eastbourne is a beach located on the coast, known for its surf potential, especially when the conditions line up just right. This spot is somewhat sheltered from the nearby headland, which helps when there are strong storms. It offers a mix of left and right beach breaks, making it accessible for different riding styles, especially suitable for beginners.

The best time to catch waves here is at mid-tide, particularly when the swell is big. The optimal swell direction comes from the southwest, but it can also handle swells coming from the east. Eastbourne is capable of managing swell sizes starting from 1 foot (about 0.3 meters) on up, breaking over sand. However, do keep in mind that strong southeast wind swells can sometimes be weak and unpredictable, which might not deliver the best experience.

As for wind, northeast winds are preferable for keeping the surf clean. Given the nature of this spot, it can be a good choice for surfers looking to improve their skills in a more forgiving environment. Just remember that conditions can vary, so it's worth checking before you head out.
