The wave here can be quit mushey, so its really a longboards break. But when the conditions are right, you can get some real nice air using shorter boards.
Atmosphere
It can be a bit quite surfing bracklesham in the winter months, but when the spring comes a lot more warm water surfing start surfing again. It can be a real cool laugh, Sometimes a bit competitive. No one ever gets terrortorial.
General
When its flat it can stay that way for amazing amount of time. But when its all you got its worth the wait.

Bracklesham is pants - The waves at bracklesham are pure pants, i have been surfing for about a year now and I have spent more time desparing than surfing.
