Wind & Tide Forecast for Camber & Greatstone Beaches

Knowing the conditions is a huge part of planning a safe and enjoyable session. This page brings together the key weather, wind and tide information we use every day at The Kitesurf Centre.

Understanding the forecast

Weather forecasts don't account for the thermal / sea breeze effect we regularly experience on warm, sunny days along this coastline.
As a rule of thumb, you can often expect 30, 100% more wind than forecast when the sun is out.

This is one of the reasons Camber and Greatstone are among the most reliable kitesurfing locations in the UK.

Coming Soon: Live Wind Station & Beach Webcam

We're currently working on installing our own on-site wind station directly at The Kitesurf Centre. This will allow us to provide the community with accurate, real-time wind readings from the beach itself, not a nearby weather station miles away.

We're also in the process of setting up a live beach webcam, so you'll be able to check the conditions, see the beach in real time, and decide whether it's time to jump in the car and head to the coast.

Both of these tools will be free for the community to use, helping you plan sessions with confidence and make the most of the incredible conditions we experience here.

Tide guidance for kitesurfing

For safety and space on the beach, tide timing is important when planning your session.

**Camber Sands** Please allow 2.5 hours either side of high tide, as the water reaches the sea wall and the beach becomes unsafe for kitesurfing.

**Greatstone Beach** Allow 1, 1.5 hours either side of high tide, giving plenty of safe launch and landing space.
