Description
Torrisdale Bay - Scotland
Torrisdale Bay features a powerful beach break with both right and left-hand waves over a sandy bottom. Located near Bettyhill, it is accessible via a short walk (5-15 minutes) and offers public access. The best conditions occur at low and mid tide, particularly during a rising tide with swell from the North, NorthWest, and NorthEast.
This hidden gem boasts a variety of peaks along its expansive sandy beach, making it ideal for surfers seeking diverse wave options. The east end of the bay is known for fast, hollow rides, while the western end features a left rivermouth that provides a unique contrast to the predominant right-handers. The spot remains relatively uncrowded during the week, with only a few surfers on weekends. Remember to park responsibly and respect the local community while enjoying the surf at Torrisdale Bay.
