Kilmurren is a surf spot located along the R675 coast road, known for its deep cliff-lined bay that provides some shelter from the southwesterly winds. This spot often comes alive when the south coast is too wild for surfing. It can be a solid choice for those looking to catch some waves when conditions are less than ideal at other nearby spots.

This beach works best with swells coming from the south and southwest, handling sizes from around 2 ft (0.6 meters) up to some bigger sets. The waves can break both left and right over sand, making it versatile for surfers. You'll find that Kilmurren is more suitable during low to mid tide, providing a more manageable experience. Just keep in mind that this spot is better for intermediate surfers; the drop and currents, especially from the rivermouth, can be challenging.

When heading to Kilmurren, a north wind is preferred, as it can help clean up the waves and make for a more enjoyable session. The combination of the setting and wave quality makes Kilmurren worth considering if you find the usual spots overcrowded or out of control.
