Additional Information
As this is pretty much the same for all of eastbourne you can use this a guide for the area.
Eastbourne is made up of a number of point and beach breaks. They only work in a huge southerly swell, which usual means strong onshore winds.
The area is sheltered by a number of hills which block the wind. The swell wrapes around giving you a reasonable wave to surf when everything else is maxed out. I would imagine this would be a great place to surf when there is no wind. Rear for Wellington.

One other bit of information I forgot drive to the end of eastbourne, just before you get to the end of the road, there will be a large rock. This is one of the waves. Keep traveling around and there will be a car park. From there grab your gear and start walking till you find somewhere you like. Walk no longer then 1 hour because it will get rather exposed and there will nothing worth surfing around that far anyway.

General
If you really need a surf badly, when it's a storming outside from the south. This is the place to go. As the weather is more often than not, crap when it's on you should'nt have any problems with crowds.
