Flat as a pancake although it could find a small wave against the harbour wall at high water but unlikely.

Best time10 am to 2 pm

Joss has a habit of surprising and this could be a weekend of that, some swell in the north sea but not sure it will get sucked into the North Foreland, if it does, then Joss could see it.

Viking Bay

Best tideLow to Mid
Best time7 am to 09 am and 3 pm to 6 pm

The waves will be weak but should certainly show something very small for longboarders or paddleboarders at low water. Will be offshore here if that is the case.

Botany Bay

Best time10 am to 2 pm

Nothing much here, very hard to see it getting a catchable clean wave this weekend but always worth a look.

Camber Sands

Water qualityGood
Best tideMid to High
Best time9 am to 4 pm

Saturday is the only good day, early on Saturday will be offshore and possible classic conditions could be found.

Weekend Outlook

North Kent will see a small northerly swell of ankle grinders at best. Really not much swell knocking about just something from the southwest that is weak, and something from the northwest that has potential but we may be on the edge of the swell window.

Rip Advisory: No rips.

Friday

The end of the working week will see some waves early in the morning along the north foreland with northerly swell energy.

Saturday

Generally flat, to be honest, but some small waves will come through for longboarders and paddleboarders to enjoy.

Sunday

Another poor day of surf with some small waves that may come through for longboarders and paddleboarders to enjoy.
