Cambo Sands Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(Scotland – East Coast, UK)

Cambo Sands Surf Guide

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.

“Surf the point on a big easterly and average south easterly. And you will be pleasantly surprised. One of east coasts jewels on its day.
The beach Can offer the best rides on a south easterly. A short hollow wedge that breaks close to shore.”
