Machir Bay (Islay)

Located on Islay's rugged coast, Machir Bay is a reliable beach and point break that works year-round. The west-facing spot handles groundswells and windswells equally well, producing powerful lefts and rights. Best suited for advanced surfers, it remains surfable at all tide stages but demands caution due to strong rips. Offshore east winds and cold 9.4°C waters require proper preparation.
