| About
Jersey |
| |
| Jersey is in the English Channel,
but much nearer to France than England. Open to
Atlantic swells coming from the West, but much
more protected from the East by the Normandy
peninsula which is only 14 miles away. Don't try
going there on a board thoug - the French
authorities have locked up people who have tried
this without permission, and for good reason. Our
40 foot tides lead to strong currents (up to 9
knots further North around Alderney). |

>> Sands

>> Secrets
The beach can only be
accessed down some narrow steps from a gravel
car park. A much better high tide spot that
Sands or Le Braye and probably the only spot to
sail in a north westerly.

>> Bel Royal
Offers varied conditions from
flat water to small waves, best sailed in a
south to south-westerly. Easy access from a
slipway and car park with some grass areas for
rigging.

>> Greve d'Azette
Not the most popular spot on
the island., but can be fun on a high tide with
the wind from the south-west. Parking and
rigging on the slipway only. Beware the rocks - have a look at low tide before sailing here.

>> Gorey

Park in the large gravel car park and there is a large grass
area for rigging.
