Doolin Point surf guide

Doolin Point is a surf spot located near the Cliffs of Moher. It has been surfed a few times, but many surfers consider it not worth the trouble. The access to the water can be tricky, and the uneven rocky bottom adds to the challenges faced by surfers here.

The surf at Doolin Point can be a mixed bag. When the swell is right and the wind is blowing from the east, you can get a long, fast wave that peels to the right. The optimal swell direction is from the west or northwest, and it handles swell sizes from about 1 meter to 2.5 meters (3ft to 8ft). The best times to surf here are during low to mid tides, but remember that the wave can be pretty sectiony unless conditions are perfect. The bottom is made up of sharp limestone reef, so it's not really beginner-friendly—intermediate surfers are best suited for this spot.

Getting to Doolin Point involves a short walk from the car park, but be warned: entry can be tricky. There aren't many crowds at this spot, which is a plus if you prefer solitude in the water. Overall, it's more of a place for watching rather than surfing, especially during the winter season when the conditions can get rough.
