Europie surfspot characteristics

More about Europie surfspot

Consistent, fast, hollow beachbreaks at Europie shape up over transient bars and channels. In a N swell and SE wind the long right tubes are a sight to behold. Extremely rippy at size, which it can handle. The go to spot in most conditions, but beginners will struggle unless it is small.

General: The white sand and clear waters of Eoropie form Britain's most northwesterly break, a quality beachie best known for its Hossegor-style fast, hollow, powerful waves with faces up to 10-foot. As with all beachbreaks, the quality and shape of the waves are dependent on the sandbars, and here they are exposed to all the passing Atlantic storms, shifting about from one swell to the next. As the most famous spot on the Hebrides, Eoropie attracts more of a crowd than many of the other breaks and is popular with the small, core local community, however it is rarely crowded.
