Surf is the face height at the beach after the swell is filtered for the way Dal More faces. Arrows show where the swell and wind are heading. 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 Wednesday 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-west. Swell inside the lit window reaches the beach; anything from behind the headlands scores nothing, however big the buoy says it is.

W: 2.6 m at 11 s (swell) · 89 % reaches the beach
SW: 1.4 m at 5 s (wind sea) · 6 % reaches the beach

How Dal More works

Swell: Best from the north west.
Wind: South East is offshore.
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.
