Information about South Coast
The South Coast of England is not known for it's quality surf, but has many places of outstanging natural beauty. Some of the coastline is really beautiful.

South Coast Surfing Info and Details
There are a number of breaks dotted along the south coast of England. Swells are generally short lived and gutless. The main spots like Bournemouth Pier get very busy when there is a good swell.

The best swells are generated from big storms in the Atlantic that push the swell up the channel. The best swells are produced from late autumn through the winter.

The water looks dirty, but that's mostly due to the silty sea bed. Most of the beaches are clean.
Surf Equipment Required for the Waves in South Coast
You'll need a longboard or something that will keep you going in the small swells. Through winter, make sure you have a decent wetsuit, and you'll need gloves and booties.
