Inch Reef surf guide

Surf: General: A long, wally, user-friendly right-hand pointbreak, not too common in Ireland. Its visibility, history, swell specificity and easy access means it is crowded. Expect a large group out there if it is breaking at all. An excellent wave when it all comes together. Very long with rides of up to 400 meters on a good day. Tides: Low to mid Size: Head high to double overhead plus. Wind: N - E Swell: W/NW Bottom: Rock reef. Paddling: Long wave, lots of paddling. But you will rest while waiting your turn. Spot Rating: On a good day you'll have your wetsuit on in record time. Access: Park on road and walk down goat path. Crowds: Crowd Factor: Crowds are an ever present factor here so go easy and happy, give away a wave or two when its your turn and your karma will bloom. Local Vibe: Expect some negotiations among the pecking order. Environment: Very clean. Occasional runoff after heavy rains. Hazards: Steep access trail. Rock bottom. Sweep and rip when it's bigger. Season: Takes big winter swells to work.
