Where to waterski Solent

[Homer J]

I am based on the Beaulieu river. Where are the best places to waterski and tow toys near here where the water is sheltered and I’m unlikely to annoy others please?

 

[mr mischief]

Not easy in the Solent , places that are sheltered are usually busy with anchored boats
I used to find when I waterski,d that if the wind was easterly the far side of hurst spit ( Milford on sea ) was sheltered and if it was westerly the Solent side was sheltered
Nasty currents tho so keep clear of the hurst channel

There's a waterski zone just W of Wootton Pt. and another top of R Test Redbridge channel.
