Alderney is one of the smaller, less known Channel islands. Only 12 km from the French mainland, this rocky island is swept by some of the strongest tidal currents in the English channel/la Manche The northern end of the island has several small beaches, and Corblets is a sheltered, North facing horseshoe bay, which picks up swell on big days.
Not exactly a predictable wave. Never holds a swell too big but if you go down you go down into rocks, so watch that. Should be fun if youre lucky enough to witness a good day. Not as consistent as Corblets.....which itself is very inconsistent!If the tide turns there may be rips.
Very messy wave. Very inconsistent. Your lucky if your there on a surfable day.Usually left but somtimes right. Your best bet for a take off is the rocks to the right hand side.Park your car on the track on thr right of the sea wall.
