Dalmore is a well-known surf spot that attracts surfers looking for fun waves. Located by a cemetery overlooking the bay, the spot is accessible via a car park that offers basic facilities. It can get crowded at times, especially since it's one of the more popular breaks on the island.
The waves at Dalmore are generally best with a Northwest swell direction, though it can handle swells from the Southwest and Northeast as well. This beach break has a mix of left and right waves and works best when the swell size is around 2ft (0.6m), especially at low and mid tide. The quick peaks can get rippy when the swell is larger, making it more suitable for intermediate surfers. You’ll find some grinding lefts in the corner that can add a bit of challenge when the conditions are firing.
If you're planning to surf here, try to catch it when the wind is coming from the Southeast; that’s usually when the waves shape up nicely. Just keep in mind that the sandbars can change, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on the conditions as they may vary. Overall, Dalmore offers a decent surf experience, especially on smaller days.
