More about Dunfanaghy surfspot

Totally protected from westerly gales, Dunfanaghy and Marble Hill Strand both need a lot of N in the swell to work. Rarely breaks, never crowded despite summer surf school/shop.

General: A series of beachbreaks along the stretch, this area is protected from westerly gales during winter and has a range of waves from beginner friendly to hard hitting shorepound. Tides: Varies depending on sandbars. Size: Waist high to overhead. Wind: S - W Swell: NW-N Bottom: Sand. Paddling: Close to the beach. Spot Rating: All included a good variety of waves.

Varies depending on the conditions.

Easy parking in front of waves.

Winter months are biggest for more advanced surfers.

Crowd Factor: A solace for many during big westerly gales in winter. But shifty and lots of room. Can fill up with holiday resort crowd during summer months. Local Vibe: Mostly friendly.

The isolated, exposed, west-facing beach of Tramore is a long walk in through a conservation area.

Very clean.

Rips as it gets bigger. Shallow sandbar shorebreak style waves at some spots. Watch the neck and spine.
