Surfing In Ireland

The Irish coastline is one of the most prolific and beautiful surfing backdrops in the northern hemisphere, if not the world.. For the past few years the world’s amateur surfers and best professionals alike have flocked to surf the secret emerald coastline and enjoy the hospitality of the Irish. Ireland is blessed with a huge variety of quality surf spots and some really uncrowded areas - meaning that you will get the best out of your surf trip.
The best time to surf Ireland is during the period from September to May each year when the swells are plentiful. The only real drawback to the Ireland surfing experience is the cold water, but if you are prepared to overlook this little problem you are in for a treat.
If you are considering a trip to Ireland then start out by heading to Donegal Bay - it is like a swell magnet and there are spots dotted all over. There really is a wave for everyone, with a huge variety of uncrowded reef and beach breaks with predominant offshores. If you are into big wave surfing there are also some spots that will hold up to 20ft+.
Don’t forget to sample the Guinness and the legendary hospitality of the locals, and don’t leave without surfing Lahinch, Easkey and Portrush.
