Pagham

show more
Pagham is one of the better sideshore spots on the south coast as it faces SE which gives sideshore and kicks up some mellow waves in S-SSW-SW directions. Also one of the few south coast venues which is not bad in a NE-E, because the beach faces south-east. Best sailed mid tide on the push for waves.

The Autumn winds arrived over the weekend and lots of people recorded action, so we are hoping this is going to be a nice windy return to one of our favourite wavy spots. So bookmark your favourite wind forecast site and keep an eye on the approaching atlantic swell. We could be in for an epic October!!!

We will check-in with details Thursday and Friday. We have asked Bernie's mate for a few extra knots from the direction we like and some swell.

We are off to France for a few days on Saturday. It looks like there may be some wind over the weekend. Have a good time.

BUT the GOOD news is that our location this weekend is PERFECT as it is one of the few south coast venues which is not bad in a NE-E. Best sailed mid tide on the push for waves. Juan will get there about lunchtime.

Looks like we are moving to WEST Wittering and the House at Home pub in West Wittering on Saturday, as the RRD demo day and northerly make a nice basis for this.
