Ballybunion - Left surf guide

Ballybunion - Left is a surf spot located at the southern end of Ballybunion beach. It's known for its rock-bottom setup that creates some decent waves, especially when conditions are right. The spot can get busy, but there’s usually enough room for everyone to find their own wave. Just be prepared for varying conditions, as it can change quickly.

This spot is a left-hander that offers fast waves with hollow sections, particularly at low tide. You’ll want to catch it when the swell is coming from the west, although it can also work with south-west or north-west swells. It handles swell sizes starting from about 3 feet (0.9 meters) and breaks primarily over boulders. When the tide is low, you’ll find the best shapes, while higher tides can make the waves a bit mushy.

For those looking to catch Ballybunion - Left at its best, the ideal wind comes from the east. Make sure to check the tide as well, since low tide is when you’ll really see this spot shine. Overall, it’s a fun place to be when the conditions align, so keep an eye on the forecast!
