Ringed months are the ones riders and schools name: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec.
Nothing has been measured or modelled for this place: twelve months and no figure in any of them. The months riders name are all there is.
riders' months
Riders and schools name these months. The model reads lower here, and both are shown rather than averaged.
Wind on the beach
What the spot record warns about
- shorebreak and currents near the harbour piers
- zone 2 to the south is closed to kiting April 1–October 1 (swim zone)
- North Sea surf, shorebreak and current are part of the spot character.
- Currents and waves can increase with tidal flow and near the South Pier; adjacent Zone 2 is reported stronger at high tide.
- Zone 2 south of Zone 1 is closed to kitesurfing from 1 April to 1 October and is swimmer/recreation water in that period.
- Keep the 40 m strip above the tideline clear for walkers and respect yellow launch/landing flags.
