Why Riders Love It

Easterly winds gives onshore conditions and lots of chop. The wind is very gusty and unusable on anything North, Northwest and South. This is because the wind passes over the island of Portland on a southerly and over the mainland on anything with North in it.
When to Go
Typical UK conditions. Wetsuit all year needed, summer maybe without.
