Balephuil Tiree

Balephuil is a crescent-shaped beach located on the western coast of Tiree, Scotland, facing southwest toward the Atlantic Ocean. The spot is a classic Atlantic beach break with consistent swell exposure and strong wind patterns characteristic of the Scottish Hebrides. The beach is flanked by rocky outcrops and cliffs, creating a defined but constrained riding area. With average wind of 14 knots and 59% reliability, conditions are generally manageable though unpredictable. Wave heights average 2.32m with rough water conditions. Northwesterly winds provide optimal side-shore conditions. This spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with Atlantic swell dynamics and stronger currents. The beach faces significant wave energy and tidal influences typical of exposed Scottish west coasts. Access appears limited by surrounding terrain, with a narrow access road visible in the satellite image. The rough water type indicates challenging conditions beyond beginner level.
