Annascaul surf guide

Annascaul is a surf spot located in County Kerry, Ireland. It's known for its unique setting at the mouth of the Annascaul River, where you can find a sandbar that creates some interesting wave conditions. While not always consistent, it can offer some decent sessions, especially during the right conditions. The spot is laid-back and not overly crowded, making it a nice choice for surfers looking to enjoy a day away from the busier beaches.

The waves here work best with a south-westerly swell, but you can also catch them with west swells. The ideal swell size is around 2 to 6 feet (about 0.6 to 1.8 meters), and the waves tend to break over sand, creating beach breaks that offer both left and right-handers. This spot is best suited for intermediate surfers, as the waves can be hollow and pack a punch when they come in. The best conditions usually happen on low to mid tides, and a north-westerly wind can help clean things up.

Access to Annascaul is pretty straightforward; you can park in the village, which is close to the surf spot. Given its local vibe, it's a good idea to respect the area and the surfers around. Remember to check the conditions before heading out to make the most of your surf session!
