Kilcummin Harbour surf guide
Surf: General: Long left that breaks outside the harbor wall. Needs a swell from the N or a very large W to break. Very attractive looking wave for the intermediate to advanced.
Tides: Low
Size: Head high to double overhead plus.
Wind: S-SW
Swell: NW-N
Bottom: Rock reef.
Paddling: Lots of paddling especially when big.
Spot Rating: A long, fast wave with different takeoff points, fun sections. An sheltered spot from SW - W wind gales.
Access: Park right at the harbor.
Crowds: Crowd Factor: Crowds are a factor. When Kilcummin Harbor breaks, most other areas on the west coast are unmanageable.
Local Vibe: This area is more sensitive than most in Ireland. Crowds in the water are mellow usually, as a rip keeps the crowd moving.
Environment: Some agricultural runoff after heavy rains.
Hazards: Sharp rock reef, currents, access at high tide becomes dangerous.
Season: Autumn, Winter are usually when swells from this angle are most common.
