Surf Compton

Compton - Isle of Wight Compton features a beach break with both right and left waves, characterized by a sandy bottom interspersed with rocks. The spot is accessible via a public car park, with instant access to the waves in under 5 minutes. It works best during mid to high tide, particularly with a rising tide and southwest winds, offering fun power for surfers. Located east of Freshwater, Compton is known for its consistent breaks and can become crowded in summer. The beach offers various setups suitable for different board types, including shortboards, fish, funboards, longboards, SUPs, and bodyboards. While paddling out is generally manageable, be cautious of waves breaking far out and potential rips during larger swells. Autumn, especially from September to November, is the prime season for optimal conditions, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
