Meon Shore delivers good free riding, being protected by the Isle of Wight there is little swell. High tide offers easy access to the water avoiding a walk across the mud at low water. The best wind diretions are SE and NW here Great spot for for mid to low tide riding. Easy parking right in front of the beach. Parking: Parking along Cliff Road on the beachfront. Refreshment: Ice cream van in the summer. There are a few shops in close proximity. Note that on a SW wind this spot experiences a good sea breeze on a sunny day, as well as a Venturi affect between Hurst Castle and the IOW bringing stronger winds to this area. Please only experienced local kitesurfer’s enter the water on cross shore conditions as these are always changeable and currents on spring tides in the channel can cause problems. The sandiest beach in the area by far but this still does not mean booties are not a good decision. Wetsuit boots are near on essential unless you don’t mind cutting your feet especially if you're a beginner who is going to be standing a lot. Very sharp pebbles/shells some sand Record updated by: George Dufty (George Dufty Coaching)
