Thurso Reef

 

 

 
Location: Thurso, just off the breakwater at Thurso harbour.  OS map 12; grid reference ND120690.  
Directions:  Car parking available at Thurso harbour. Launch from the slipway at the river mouth or from the beach.  
Break(s):   A North  facing reef. A good peak with left and right hand waves, both good shape. Works on a slightly bigger swell than Thurso East. Again not a wave for the beginner as it breaks over boulders. The break is best from low to medium tide.  It’s called the “shit pipe” for obvious reasons.
