North Easterly winds around during high pressure weather otherwise the prevailing wind is South Weasterly so Camber beach is used. Due to the North Easterlies coming during high pressure it is usually sunny and hot when kiting at Greatstone so you get big sea breezes.
Super flat shelving beach so tide goes out a very long. On a spring low tide its about 20min walk to the sea. All tide states are usable apart from very high spring high tides as it leaves you little beach space to set up and launch, neap high tides are fine. Due to the very flat shelving profile of the beach the water is very shallow and calm, perfect for lening in and even better for freestyle, butter flat and acres of space!
