To the west of the mainland lies the fractured archipelago of the Hebrides. The area has so many islands, islets and coastline that even the environmental authorities can't really monitor it, so the potential for virgin waves is high. The Inner Hebrides and mainland W coast do get waves but the dominant winds are onshore. There are some sheltered gems that come to life in big W/NW swells.
