Sandilands

Sutton-on-sea, Lincolnshire

---

---

Sandilands is the main hub of Lincolnshire surfing and tends to draw in the locals and visitors alike. There’s a slight curve in the beach so it picks up northerly groundswells more effectively than other spots in the area. Sandi's works best on the push from mid tide, with a southwesterly wind being offshore. There can be a steep drop off at Sandilands beach which can make surfing high tide tricky. The peaks shift and the sandbars vary, but on a good day Sandilands can generate hollow, punchy, long peeling lefts and rights from one- to eight-feet in height. Beginners on small days, intermediates and experienced surfers only on bigger swells.

A good destination for a quick, easy and cheap UK surf break when the winds are favourable - loads of affordable accommodation options and a growing surf scene supporting surf schools, hire shops and a cool local crew.

Tips

There can be a heavy lateral rip running along the coast influenced by the swell direction so the best option on bigger days is to walk north to enter the water and drift south with it, get out and walk back up.
