SURF ATLAS/ EUROPE
Thurso East
🇬🇧 Caithness, UK
A world-class right-hand reef barrel at the very top of Scotland, breaking over a flagstone ledge below a ruined castle. Thurso is cold, powerful and immaculate — frigid, Arctic-lit tubes that reward a thick wetsuit and a serious cold-water commitment.
