Windsurfing Milford on Sea: Milford beach is understated & doesn't appear to get wind surfed too often. In the opinion of 'Big Salty' it performs really well when other beaches switch off, plus it gets a good dose of swell due to it's SSW orientation. For those interested in wave sailing, it's swell size will be comparable to Southbourne although it is much less powerful size for size.
