Name:

Troon North Beach

Beach description:

Troon is around 45 minutes from Glasgow, and just 15 minutes from Europe’s biggest wind farm. That has to be a good sign! It’s actually 2 beaches separated by a marina: this one, North Beach (the locals call it Barassie Beach), and South Beach. Troon is a great spot for beginners as the waves never get that big, there’s loads of space and plenty of kite surfers around to help with launching / landing.

Beach Access

There’s free parking at both beaches. At Barassie Beach (North Beach), kite surfers usually park in the first bay on the grass.

Code of Conduct

Wind Direction

North, South, South-West, West, North-West

Water Type

Troon North can be ridden at all tide states. It just affects the amount of room for landing / launching. Troon North offers small waves and flat water lagoons. Waves tend to be biggest at high water, steepest at low water.

Hazards

Troon North is pretty safe. Just stay clear of the harbour
