Hosta is a surf spot located on North Uist, facing northwest. This beach break usually has small and soft waves, making it a decent place for beginners to catch their first rides. While it may not always have the most powerful surf, when the conditions are just right with the right swell, Hosta can really turn on and provide some fun waves.

The surf here is best with a northwest swell, but it can also pick up swells coming from the southwest and north. Generally, the waves handle sizes around 2 feet (about 0.6 meters). You can expect waves that break over sand, and they come in both left and right directions. For the best experience, surfers should look for southeast winds and can hit the waves during low, mid, or high tide.

Aside from Hosta, there are other nearby bays worth checking out. They often offer small but consistent surf opportunities, which is great for those looking to spend more time in the water and explore different breaks in the area.
