Ireland's most mythical wave is a super-long, righthand reef that can peel for 400m or more. Very rare to get the required NE wind and big swell. When it's on, low tide is best. Getting in and out is tricky and the rip pulling away from the wave is as legendary as the wave itself. Big crowds if on.
Park in the car park at the north end of the strand, or on the road and a find a way down the cliff path.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
