Scotts Bay

Overview

Scotts Bay is a spectacular spot on the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia, famous for having some of the highest tides in the world (up to 16 m tidal range!). This small fishing village offers access to the Bay of Fundy with its unique conditions: at low tide, a huge rocky foreshore is exposed; at high tide, the water body offers committed riding conditions with powerful currents. Spot reserved for experts due to extreme tidal currents.

On the water

Bay of Fundy with some of the world's most extreme tides (12-16 m tidal range). Very powerful tidal currents. Cold water year-round (6-14°C). Riding only possible in a narrow window around high tide. Rocky and muddy bottom. Strong chop created by wind/current interaction.

Hazards

MAJOR HAZARD: tidal currents among the most powerful in the world. Extreme tidal range (12-16 m) creates irresistible currents. Riding ONLY for experts with thorough knowledge of local tides. Very cold water. Dangerous rocky bottom. Foreshore exposes very rapidly — risk of being stranded. Always consult tide tables and ride with a partner.
