Ireland's premier big-wave spot. The Head is a savage, shallow, lefthand reefbreak only surfable on high tide. Handles any size swell, producing massive tubes, but needs to be well overhead to break clear of exposed rocks. Offshore in a SW so makes the most of big winter storms. Has been paddled but is becoming known as tow-in spot.
Park on the Head and watch! Rips, rocks and super-heavy barrels make it a dangerous experts-only spot.

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.
