General Description
One of the best reef breaks in the UK. Can handle size and produces quality hollow waves. Works on all tides, best on the incoming tide. Has waves from 2-15ft.

You can paddle out from the Thurso River. Take care as there can be a very heavy wave.

It's cold up north so bring a suitable wetsuit for the time of year you visit.
