About Winging at Burntisland

Burntisland, on the northern shore of the Firth of Forth in Fife, is a key hub for the local winging and windsurfing community. The beach at Pettycur Bay offers a mix of conditions, from flatter water protected by the harbour to rolling chop in the open Firth. It is an excellent venue for progression, delivering consistent cross-shore winds in prevailing South-Westerlies. Its proximity to Edinburgh makes it a popular and accessible choice for after-work sessions. Use our Burntisland winging forecast to identify the best high-tide windows for optimal depth and to avoid the vast mudflats revealed at low water.
