Huge car park but can be expensive in the summer.
A few different spots to surf along the beach and a couple past the sand bar in you fancy a paddle.
Sand bar blocks the swell at low tide but a decent wave can break over it at high tide with a good ground swell.
The best time to surf this spot is on a huge North East swell where it can be really hollow or on a large south west swell where it will only show at high water and will be 2-3ft and heavy offshore.
Try to avoid high tide as the beach dump can be very nasty and for anyone who is not familiar with this kind of set up; getting back is often harder than getting out.Keep checking position as powerful side currents can drag you near dangerous groynes before you realise!!
car park right on the beach, good when it breaks but you gotta know when to catch it
your general beach break better west of the de la warr pavillion and all the way to south cliff theres shitpipes basically a storm drain can conjour up sloppy bb barrels once in a while clocktower called because theres a clock tower there southcliff up past the end of the promanade if theres a good swell there chould be some sort of surf around
Car parks near by, swim out close to the pier (don't jump off pier). If you dont want to pay ridiculous carpark prices park for free up the hill west of the pier but its about a five min walk down.Pigeons is also known as Bournemouth Pier Bay. However Local Students refer to it as Pigeons originating from an incident that happened to Locals Rusty and Charly. Story tells that one day they were paddling out and saved a pigeon from drowning. Because its wings were wet it couldnt fly away so they surfed withe the Pigeon on the nose for a while. The Spot can be breaking clean on a good day with glassy rights and lefts. However on these days it can get pretty crowded as well. Localism is only average though although you are expected to respect the locals. Watch out for the Rip currents. On windy days it can get pretty choppy. on other days it can be a fun wave suitable for all kind of boards Thrusters and Longboards alike.
This is a heavy wave with way to many people in the water. Can get epic but 9 times out of 10 it is total gash. This is not a spot recomended for beginers due to the heavy waves and the agressive nature of the local surfers however there is always an abundance of kooks floating around in front of the critical take off.
just about great for everyone. Shortboarders tend to go at the town end and Longboarders at the Burrows end!
Probably the most popular spot in the UK outside of Newquay. The nearest good spot for the hordesof inland surfers. Crowded. Parking at both ends and in the middle. Low tide gives the hollow rides, and mid to high tide a mellower wave. There are also several reefs which are ighly localised and fickle. Firstly theres the Point at Downend which is a dangerous rocky right point which works at low tide in swells 4ft plus, its a dangerous spot yet the most surfed of the reefs. Then theres Baggy Point reef which works only on spring high tides and medium swells making it very fickle. It is extremely shallow and doesnt take crowds due to the small take off area.
