Location guide

Roanhead, situated in the United Kingdom, presents surfing conditions that may be a challenge to most. The region's temperature and wave conditions may require surfers to brace themselves for a certain level of unpredictability and adaptability. Surfing in Roanhead, therefore, requires both proficiency and resilience, making it a remarkable experience for seasoned surfers and adventure enthusiasts. The ideal surfing conditions significantly depend on the time of year. For instance, the winter months tend to bring about larger and more challenging waves due to the ferocious North-Atlantic swells. These are preferable for more experienced surfers seeking a thrilling encounter with the ocean. On the other hand, the summer months may see smaller, more consistent wave patterns that are especially suitable for beginners who are still acquainting themselves with their boards and the water. Surfers need to note that the water temperatures around Roanhead can be quite chilly, sometimes falling below 10 degrees Celsius. It is not uncommon for surfers to gear up in 5mm wetsuits, gloves, boots, and even hoods to keep their body temperature regulated. Regardless of the perceived discomfort, the advantage is that such conditions often keep the crowds at bay, providing a more exclusive and enjoyable surfing experience. It is also important to pay attention to the tide times as the wave quality can vary depending on the tide stages. High tides usually allow better wave shapes and longer rides. Meanwhile, low tide surf comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities for wave riding. To sum it up, Roanhead offers a unique blend of surfing conditions, combining brisk temperatures with wave patterns that range from beginner-friendly to experienced-level. While it may not be synonymous with 'typical' surfing destinations, Roanhead truly stands out for its uniqueness and offers a distinctive experience to those bold enough to embrace its essence. Despite the seemingly demanding conditions, the adventurous ambiance under pastel skies and pristine shores keep surfers coming back for more.
