Kyle of Tongue surf guide

Kyle of Tongue is a unique surf spot located in the northern part of Scotland. It features a deep bay that has potential for surfing, making it an interesting place for those looking to escape the crowds. The beach typically sees fewer surfers, which can make for a more relaxed vibe. The area is noted for its scenic views, with the rugged coastline providing a backdrop to your surfing experience.

The waves at Kyle of Tongue can be decent, particularly when the swell comes from the North, Northwest, or Northeast. It can handle swells as small as 2 feet (about 0.6 meters) and often offers both left and right peeling waves, making it a bit versatile. The best kind of winds are from the South, and it works best during low, mid, or high tides. However, it's worth noting that this spot tends to be inconsistent, meaning you might not always find rideable waves.

For accessing the waves, if you're looking for the left, you’ll want to park at Talmine and if the right appeals to you more, Coldbackie is the way to go. It's recommended for experienced surfers, so make sure you're up for the challenge. The sweeping currents can add to the thrill, but also means you need to be careful while paddling out and catching waves.
