Inch Reefs surf guide

Inch Reefs is located in Ireland and is known for its long, righthand reef break. When conditions are right, it can provide waves that peel for over 400 meters. It's essential to find the perfect combination of the northeast wind and big swell to make the most of this spot. Generally, low tide offers the best conditions for surfing here, but getting in and out can be tricky. The wave has a reputation for a strong rip current which surfers should be aware of. It can get crowded when it's on, so be prepared for some company out in the water.

The best swell direction for Inch Reefs is southwest, although it can handle swells coming from the south and west as well. It works well with swell sizes around 3 feet (about 1 meter), making it a versatile spot for various skill levels. The waves primarily break over rocky ledges and can create a fun point break, with the waves generally moving in a rightward direction. For the most favorable conditions, aim for a northeast wind and low to mid tide levels.

To get to Inch Reefs, you can park in the car park at the north end of the strand or find a spot along the road. There will be a cliff path you can take to get down to the water. Just remember to be cautious during your descent, especially if conditions are rough.
