description
Another of Shetland's best beaches.
Offering shelter from the East through to the West, though with possibly a bit of swell from the West.
Good depths and sand, though weed patches to avoid.
One solitary (private) small boat mooring towards the Western end of the beach.

Want to know how the wind score works? Then you should read this explanation.
The wind forecasts come from yr.no (Norwegian Meteorological Institute), and was last updated 38 minutes ago (Wednesday 30 April 05:28 PM). The next night score shows you the worst hour between 22:00 and 08:00 the next night. We recommend that you check multiple sources for wind forecasts. windy.com is a good website to show larger wind systems.

Bay of Scousburgh is surrounded by high hills or mountains. When strong winds come from the mountainous side there is a risk of turbulent or katabatic winds (also called "fall winds"), which may be rather unpleasant. In such conditions, you should not rely on the wind protection score for the coming night. Click to edit.
