Skail Bay Right is a surf spot located in the Orkney Islands, accessible via a quick ferry ride from Gills Bay to Stromness. This area is known for its rugged beauty and unique wave setups. The spot features some interesting surf opportunities, particularly for those who are willing to explore a bit. While it may not be a world-renowned surfing destination, it offers its own set of waves that can be worth checking out.

This spot is best for a northwest swell, which produces right-hand waves breaking over a rocky ledge. It handles swell sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter) and is a solid choice for intermediate surfers looking for a right-handed reef break. While the waves can be fun, do keep in mind that they rely on the right conditions—low to mid tides work best here, and having east winds is preferable for optimal surf quality.

The conditions can be a bit tricky due to the strong and constant winds in the area, so some patience is needed to find the ideal days to surf. The combination of the waves and the scenic surroundings makes Skail Bay Right an appealing option for those exploring the Orkney Islands. So if you're around and the conditions line up, it’s worth giving it a go!
