Windsurfing in this area of the Scottish Highlands is best from autumn to spring; its pretty cold in winter but the temperature in autumn is acceptable because of the Gulf Stream. The west coast of the Isle of Tiree in the Scottish Highlands is famous for its large waves however there are always more sheltered bays with smaller waves which break even cleaner.
