The Maze is a unique surf spot located at the south end of a long bay near Kilkenneth. It features a mix of beachbreak and a heavy slab reef, making it an interesting place to check out for surfers of various skill levels. This spot has seen some action, even hosting the British windsurf nationals in the past. The vibe here is pretty relaxed, and it's often frequented by locals and travelers alike.

This surf spot handles swell sizes up to about 4ft (1.2 meters) and works best with a swell coming from the NorthWest. It can also pick up some action from the SouthWest as well. You'll find both left and right waves breaking over the rock ledge, which can provide a fun ride if the conditions align. For the best experience, aim for low to mid tide, and keep an eye on those wind conditions—east winds are preferable here to make the most of the waves.

When you're heading to The Maze, it’s handy to check the surf from the old radar station on Ben Hough. This spot can be a bit hit or miss, depending on the swell and wind, so it's worth being patient and waiting for those good days. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Maze can offer a decent session if the conditions are right.
