Dunfanaghy surf guide

Dunfanaghy is a surf spot located along the beautiful coastline, featuring a series of beachbreaks. It's known for being sheltered from westerly gales during winter, making it a decent option for surfers looking for some action in stormy conditions. The spot combines ease of access, with parking right in front, and a variety of waves that cater to different skill levels. It’s a great place for both beginner surfers and more experienced riders, although it can get busy with holiday crowds during the summer.

The surf at Dunfanaghy is influenced by swells coming from the north and northeast. It handles swell sizes from about 0.9 meters (3 ft) to 3 meters (10 ft) and provides left and right-breaking waves over sandy bottoms. The beach can produce a range of wave types, from mellow beach breaks for beginners to more challenging conditions for the advanced surfer, especially during larger swells. The best tides to catch waves here are at low, mid, or high tide, and the most favorable winds are from the west. Whether you’re on a shortboard, funboard, longboard, or fish, there’s often something for everyone depending on the day.

During winter months, Dunfanaghy can produce some of its biggest waves, making it an ideal time for more skilled surfers to take advantage. However, as the size increases, be aware of potential rips and shorebreaks that can be tricky. The local vibe is mostly friendly, and the area is kept very clean, allowing for a pleasant surf experience.
