Overview
Enniscrone is a right-hand pointbreak that peels over a sand-covered, uneven reef along a long strand running west from town. It suits beginners well, with mellow, super-small waves close to the harbour and bigger peaks the further up the strand you go.
When It Works
The point draws swell from northwest through north, and it really needs a solid north (N) swell to fire, as the swell window is limited. It works from 0.9 m / 3 ft to 2.4 m / 8 ft, so there's a wide band of rideable size on offer. It can be inconsistent, but there are worthwhile windows right through autumn, winter, spring, and summer.
Wind and Tide
Look for a southeast (SE) offshore wind. It's best around low tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
This is a friendly place to learn, and it handles everything from shortboards and fish to funboards and longboards. The lineup tends to stay quiet and the atmosphere is a touch reserved, so keep it humble, especially if you go exploring the more sensitive waves nearby.
Access
Park by the harbour, where there's free and roadside parking. A surf school is on hand, and there's camping nearby too.
