was just about to start a thread about this thinking of going over there in jully for a couple of weeks camping was wondering if anyone knows where some good spots are looking for a nice right hand point break or some nice beach breaks

Ive got the stormriders guide europe and there are def waves to be had.. looking for some insiders info tho . Phil, if you're going in July I can tell you what I find! Which Islands where you thinking of going to and are you a long or short boarder?

hey rvandepeer be very intrested in what you find i was thinking of heading to lewis, where abouts are you staying? im a longboarder so you come across any right hand point breaks or good beach breaks would be very much intrested to know where they are

ive had trouble geting any good infomation off the net about it even just trying to find camp sites is hard enough

I am also a longboarder heading to Harris and Lewis too, looking for beachbreaks and mellow points

There is a website i found www.hebrideansurf.co.uk which is good.

I have found accom quite difficult too (I am honeymooning in May) think that we have got a cottage.

Keep in touch

found out i can camp pretty much anywhere so long as its not fenced off so looks like camping is not a problem let me know how you get on

Heading to Hebrides in May for camping and surfing adventure.

I went about 3 years ago and it was unbelievable. If you get the weather it can't be beaten. The swell charts were showing millpond flat and nearly every break I looked at was like a mirror. So headed up to Eoropaidh near the Butt of Lewis and was greeted by glassy, 3-4 ft peelers. It was like that for the whole week.

There is lots of accom, from bunk houses to cottages. Camping is sweet too, so long as it isn't fenced nobody seems to mind. There are a couple of proper sites with portaloos and water that are completely free.

This is the last remaining unspoiled area of the UK with such a variety of surf spots. Lets hope it stays that way!!
