Stac Swordale Swim - 31.07.2025

A quick check of the tide, wind and weather gave me the opportunity this afternoon to swim out from Swordale bay around the coast to the arch just before Stac Swordale. Even if I had to go sideways to fit through the gap I was determined and neither would the amount of jellyfish guarding the arch stop me, haha. So, obviously after checking out the small shore, I went back via the arch again, this time there were 2 juicy lions manes jellyfish right in my way, washing back and forth with the current at the gap not to mention the compass jellyfish dotted about. I managed to scoot by and swam over to touch Stac Swordale before swimming back to Swordale bay whilst scoping out various inlets, noting the beautiful sea grass/shoals of sand eels/a single star fish....
