Shoreham is a surf spot located along the coast, known for its unique setup around the harbour arm and the outfall from the nearby power station. The location offers easy access with convenient parking available at the Basin Road car park, making it a decent spot for surfers looking for a quick session. It's a place where you might find some fun waves, but it also tends to attract a crowd, so be prepared for fellow surfers in the water when the conditions are right.

The surfing at Shoreham can be a mixed bag, depending on what's happening with the swells and the winds. The best waves usually come when the swell is from the SouthWest, and you can expect swell sizes ranging from 1ft to 4ft (0.3m to 1.2m). The surf breaks over sand, producing both left and right waves, which is great for different types of surfers. When things are small, paddling is pretty easy, but it can get tough when the onshore winds kick in. The ideal tide height is mid, and it works well for beginners to intermediates. As for board types, you can ride anything from a shortboard to a longboard, or even a bodyboard if that’s your preference.

Autumn and winter are typically the best seasons to hit Shoreham, especially when the big swells roll into the Channel between September and February. Just keep in mind that if there's a wave, the crowd will likely be there too. So, while it can be a fun spot to surf with a chilled local vibe, be ready to share the wave with others!
