THE SPUR
With the wind now blowing from the North West, Harrow Harbour was out of the question, we were going to give The Spur one last chance with the tide on the push and the swell building fast.
This huge horseshoe-shaped chunk of slab certainly isn’t a break for beginners. To sail this spot you need to be competent and know how to handle yourself in the water.
Set against the backdrop of Atlantic waves crashing against the rugged cliffs of Dunnet Head, this wave grinds and bends its way down the spur, gradually cleaning up as the wind swings onshore to side and then offshore on the end bowl.
The only company you are likely to get round here on the water is the occasional nosy seal poking its head out of the water to see what’s up.
