Description

Birling Gap - England Birling Gap features a reef break with both right and left waves, characterized by a bottom of flat rocks and sand. The waves are of ordinary power, making it suitable for various skill levels. Access is straightforward, with a car park at the top of the cliffs and a quick walk down to the shingle beach. This spot is known for its good local crowd, who enjoy a friendly atmosphere in the water. It works best at mid tide with rising and falling tides, particularly when the swell comes from the southwest and the wind from the west or southwest. While the beach can get crowded during the week and ultra crowded on weekends, surfers should be cautious of rocks in the area. To avoid the shore dump entry, it's advisable to walk either side of the steps once on the beach.
