Quality, but fickle, lefthand boulder reef at the west end of West Strand, needs exact swell direction to work. Shallow and rocky so it's mid/high tide only.
Considered one of the best waves in N. Ireland, crowded when on.

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.
