Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Dal More faces. Arrows point to where the swell and wind come from: an arrow pointing up means from the north. Tide is the height at Carloway above chart datum, rising ↑ or falling ↓; the rating drops when the tide is outside the window this break works on. Amber marks the sessions worth setting an alarm for. From Tuesday the swell comes from Météo-France's 10-day model, which is coarser than the 5 km German model used close in. Hours no model reaches are left blank, not shown as flat.

Exposure

Dal More faces north. Measured from the seabed, it is open to swell from W round to NE; the brighter a wedge, the deeper the water in that direction and the more of the swell gets in. Anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

W: 2.0 m at 10 s (swell) · 80 % reaches the beach
S: 0.5 m at 3 s (wind sea) · blocked, 0 %

How Dal More works

Swell: Best from the north west.
Wind: Offshore is from the south east; anything with north in it is onshore and messes it up.
Tide: low to mid tide.
Getting there: Easy to find, on the North coast road.

Beautiful small bay that offer i bit of shelter from winds/waves. A sand/rock bottom that offers lefs and rights for every level of surfer. Rips and be a problem here in bigger surf, and lots of exposed rocks can damage boards.
