Beginner

Silverknowes is a good spot in East and North East winds, at high tide you need to launch from the rocks and at low tide it is a long walk over the sand to the water. Tends to get slightly stronger east wind than shown at the airport weather station and can get some good swell for riding and jumping. 

(Thanks to Mark for this information).

Features

Good swell for riding and jumping and works in an east and north east wind.
