Enniscrone surf guide
Surf: A fast, hollow righthand pointbreak breaking over a sand-covered reef. High quality wave but needs a solid N swell to fire, as the swell window is limited.
Environment: Park by the harbour. Inishcrone has seaweed baths, a surf school and a beginner-friendly beach. Lots of kiters too who love the wide gently shelving sands and regular cross-onshore winds.
Surf: General: Long strand extending west from the town of Enniscrone. Excellent beginner - intermediate waves. Stick close to the harbour for super small learning waves, then head up the strand and find a bigger peak.
Tides: Mid to High
Size: Knee high to overhead.
Wind: S - SE
Swell: N-W
Bottom: Sand, an occasional stone.
Paddling: Can be difficult to get out when bigger.
Spot Rating: Fun peaks and lots of them.
Access: Parking in town lot. Walk onto beach.
Crowds: Crowd Factor: Can get busy on a summer day, but plenty of beach to find your own place.
Local Vibe: Generally friendly. However some of the surrounding waves are among the more sensitive and protected waves in Ireland. Important to be humble if exploring.
Environment: Agricultural runoff and sewage outflow after heavy rains.
Hazards: Rips, especially further down the beach. Strong lateral currents when bigger.
Season: Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer.
