Sinclair's Bay

Sinclair's Bay is located on the east-facing coast of Caithness in the Scottish Highlands. The bay forms a broad, sheltered indentation with extensive sandy beaches backed by agricultural land. The water body transitions from open ocean swells to bay conditions, with notable tidal influences typical of northern Scottish waters. The bay entrance is constricted by natural headland features that create current corridors. Conditions are most favorable during northerly winds that provide side-shore flow along the bay's eastern orientation. The rough-chop water conditions and low wave height indicate this is primarily a wind-powered location rather than a swell destination. Sinclair's Bay suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable tidal conditions and moderate wind reliability. Water temperatures average 8.7°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Local awareness of tidal cycles is essential, as the expansive intertidal zone dramatically alters the usable riding area. Wind reliability at 27.3% suggests sessions require patience and selective timing.
