Spot guide

Brims Ness is an NW-facing reef break in Thurso, Highland, United Kingdom. It picks up swell from W to WNW and WNW to NNW and NNW to NNE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 57% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SE: light winds or SE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NW onshores chop it up.
