About the spot

West Beach on Hayling has sandbanks that create more sheltered water at suitable tides. The CBK launch is an organised club and school area; outside the banks the water is more exposed and choppy.

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.
