Falls of Lora

Scotland’s finest tidal race has not been the most consistent of play spots over the last few years but a couple of weeks ago she was on the finest form that’s been seen in a long while, giving out a solid three and a half hours of wave time and whirlpool fun.

The main wave stayed solid until late in the tide, although the shot above was taken earlier when it’s at it’s best. Falling off the surfers left shoulder after a wipeout is often a challenging route back to the eddy through the whirlpools which give this spot a line of separation between the men and the boys.

The Axiom was the ruler of the forever wave, an experience which sets the Falls of Lora apart from the rest, giving long cruises out on to the glassy ripple in the middle of the channel watching the jelly fish go by!
