(Scotland – East Coast, UK)
| Name: | Cambo Sands |
|---|---|
| Type: | beach and reef |
| Reliability: | inconsistent |
| Best Swell: NE | Offshore Wind: SW |
Cambo Sands on the East Coast is a quite exposed beach and reef break that only works once in a while. Winter and spring are the best times of year to visit. Offshore winds are from the southwest. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the northeast. Waves at the beach are both lefts and rights and in addition there are both left and right reef breaks.. It very rarely gets crowded here. Take care of rips and rocks.
