Lossiemouth

Updated Sun 11 Oct, 19:36

Miles of open sand running east from the mouth of the River Lossie, with soft lefts and rights for beginners and improvers on a longboard or mid-length. The best waves are at the river end, including a lined-up left by the breakwater at low tide. The Moray Firth shelters it from most swell, so it needs a big northerly to easterly one. Low to mid tide is usually best. Offshore in a southerly to south-westerly. Watch the tidal flow in the river mouth.
