Explore Scotland's Surfing Paradise
Scotland is often overlooked when it comes to European surf destinations. And we really don’t know why because Scotland has it all: long sandy beaches, both Atlantic and North Sea Swells, roughly 18.000km of coastline and an unbelievable beautiful scenery.
You will be surfing some surprise waves but be promised, they will rocks. An example: an empty beach in the highlands, a stunning coastline and not many other surfers in the water. On this trip we will also have time for cool activities, taking advantage of Scotland’s vast nature. More surprises are waiting for you.
About Scotland
Scotland, located in the northern part of the United Kingdom, is a land of rich traditions where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Its people are known for their warmth, fun loving attitude, and pride in their heritage.
The breathtaking countryside, with its rugged highlands and serene lochs, shapes a vibrant culture rooted in music, dance, and storytelling, reflecting Scotland’s strong sense of identity and community.
Scotland's waves
Surfing in Scotland offers a unique experience with powerful, uncrowded waves set against dramatic coastal scenery.
The rugged coastline provides world-class surf breaks and despite the cold waters, dedicated surfers are drawn to Scotland’s challenging and rewarding waves.
The coastline provides a mix of reef breaks, point breaks, and beach breaks, catering to all skill levels.
Scotland's climate
May in Scotland is an amazing time to visit. Spring lets the highlands shine in it’s brightest green and outside temperatures are generally milder. Expect anything between 15ºC – 20ºC, sun, rain, pretty much a little bit of everything.
Being so far up north means having loads of daylight in June. The sun sets just before midnight and rises again shortly after. Long days make more time for waves and fun activities.
Ocean waters are slowly heating up after the long winter but water temperatures still average at around 12ºC. A solid 5.4mm wetsuit with boots, and maybe even gloves, are recommended.
We care about sustainability on our trips.
We strive to make our surf trips sustainable by working with local partners, promoting socio-cultural exchange, and minimizing our environmental impact.
We collaborate with local surf schools to support the local economy, engage in community events to foster cultural understanding, and ensure we leave every location better than we found it. We offset our carbon footprint through Sustainable Travel International and plant a tree for each participant at our headquarters in Fuerteventura, creating a direct, positive impact on the environment.
