About the spot

Brancaster is a broad and strongly tidal sandy venue. Flooded channels can offer flatter water, but the rising tide rapidly cuts off sandflats; experienced riders are the intended users.

A suitable session depends on both wind and available beach space. Check where you will land later and how the tide will change during the session.
