Sango Bay is a pretty beach break at the village of Durness, with waves breaking over sand. A wedgey right fires off the cliff at the east end, while longer lefts show up when northwest swells wrap into the bay.
When It Works
The bay pulls in swell from west through north to northeast, with north (N) swell the best match. It's at its best in small swells and works from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft, breaking both left and right. Expect it to stay fairly consistent.
Wind and Tide
Look for a southwest (SW) wind to hold it clean and offshore, though a west wind still blows cross-offshore across the peak. It works through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
Sango Bay suits intermediate surfers, and the lineup is never crowded.
Access
There's a car park with free parking plus roadside parking, and you can park on the bank above the beach.
