County Donegal, Ireland

Rossnowlagh

Beach break

The spot

One of the more popular spots in Ireland. Big surf scene here, with a local club and a few rental options right on the doorstep. Very consistent and, surprisingly, not too crowded in the water.

It produces some nice long running waves, and it's super consistent since it's so exposed to the western swells - perfect for long-boarders looking for some space. If you're looking for a performance break, check out nearby Bundoran instead.

The surf club also thankfully run a webcam here.

Parking is allowed on the beach, near the tide walls if the car park becomes too busy (It usually is).
