The centre of surfing in SE Ireland boasting a large surf club and a 5km stretch of beach. Average beachbreak peaks that occasionally turn on with the elusive NE offshore. Usually better at higher tides.
Shops, surf schools and plenty of facilities. Beachfront parking is restricted in summer. Very poor water quality from towns stormwater outfall.

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.
