Bracklesham near Chichester is one spot but rarely gets good

if you dont mind the drive Kimmeridge Bay is good i have heard not surfed it yet though

Yeah I'd agree with that. Bracklesham is ok when there's swell. But it is worth giving shore watersports a call as they have a shop down at the witterings and on hayling island too. Their website will give you the number. its shore.co.uk The witterings are definately worth a look in the winter months. The Isle Of Wight will pick up a lot more of the swell going than most other south coast breaks near portsmouth so that is definately worth checking them out. Get a stormriders guide to europe! It has it all in there!!!
