| Caithness CWS - Pentland Firth - Tides (0 words) |
 | The race forms a natural breakwater across the firth, and even when the race is most violent the firth can be crossed E of the breakers in smooth conditions. |
| The race forms off the Men of Mey rocks and initially extends W towards Dunnet Head, but as the W-going stream increases in strength the race begins to extend from the bank 1½ miles NW off St John's Point in a NNW direction. |
| During the E-going and W-going tidal streams races will form, respectively SE and SW of the Tails of The Tarf on the edge of eddies E and W of Swona; where they may become violent when wind is opposed to the tidal stream. |
