I was surfing with a guy (don't remember his name) from east coast surf club who lost a decent camera a few weeks ago in MM - if its a good camera you could try ringing east coast surf club?

traboys, i think you are missing a vital piece of info: there are 3 scales for measuring wave size, Hawaiian scale, regular scale and dub scale.

Ah don't be getting flustered! Main beach in Killiney gets much bigger waves than other beaches in the general area whenever there is a strong north easterly. Gradient of the beach is steep (unlike Tramore & most south or west beaches), there are 2-3 channels that run parallel to the beach. The waves just tend to jack up and then break. No one is saying its epic, it's just big & heavy with onshore winds too! Seeing is believing, any N/NE or E winds over 35 mph..drive up and see for yourself.

man i surf here a lot and i have seen many a day when a 6 foot plus swell has formed between ireland and england! damn its as messy as 2nd year disco and the period is like 2 and a half seconds but still definitely 6 feet!

Unless a swell big enough is gona form in between ireland and england,and be 6ft+. i dont think so! Sorry! Ask Conor Power if you dont believe me! We have been looking into this for years!

i was comin for northeast so it woulda missed tramore i reckon!

traboys's avatar

traboys Nov 30, 2009 Rating: 0

Not a hope of it been 6ft+ when tramore was about 3ft! The swell has to go through tramore before it reachs up there! Unless tramore was 8ft blown out! which it wasnt! so im saying 2ft max

Nah, he was out in Dublin bay itself beside the pier at Dun Laoghaire. Was stormy but few nice (nice for east coast before its picked up on) lefts bout 6ft+ at times on the main beach, 2-4ft in the sheltered part. Got better on the low tide there.
