Loch Seaforth Wave

Sunday afternoons when the forecast is not great but when there is four metres of tidal difference provide only one source of amusement. The wave at Loch Seaforth on the border of Lewis and Harris. With the tide falling through a narrow gap and over a shelf it creates a wave which can be surfed in a river kayak. The perfectly positioned island provides the ‘tripod’ for the camera and the tea breaks. With the rest of the island getting rain and hail we seem to strick lucky and it missed. I will let the pictures tell the story:
