Weather wise, the beach holds a typical northern Scottish weather. Wind here is constant throughout the year.

Although you can visit the beach from April to October, it is advisable to go during summer, as there isn’t much white water. The river mouth will give you a longer wave ride reaching 300 m/984 ft long, but if you prefer longer ride, then try to surf in the center of the beach.
