NITON FACTS
For anyone learning to windsurf and then wave sail on the Isle of Wight, Niton is the mecca for ‘proper’ wavesailing, rather than the bump and jump conditions found on the rest of the south coast. If you look on an internet satellite map of your choice focus in on the southern tip of the island, just east of the lighthouse on St Catherine’s point. If you use the photo mode you can see the beautifully lined up ledge of rocks that runs into the bay. Just south of that ledge the water drops away really quickly, setting up a perfect spot for channel swells to use all their power in one place.
