Machir Bay is a coastal location in Islay, one of 3 Islay spots covered by NippyIndex.

The shore faces broadly west, so it is most open to wind and swell arriving from the west.

As a tidal location, its tide predictions are referenced to the nearest tidal station, Bruichladdich, about 4 miles away.

NippyIndex draws on published marine and weather data (sea state, wave information and water temperature) and UKHO tidal predictions.
