Lahinch

Updated Sun 11 Oct, 19:36

A sandy beach facing south-west with soft, playful lefts and rights, best from waist to head high, on a fish, mid-length or longboard. Beginners use the gentler north end. Low to mid tide is best. Past three-quarter tide the water reaches the wall and it turns backwashy and rippy. Two reefs break at the south end: the Left, long and tapering, for intermediates, and Cornish, faster, hollower and shallower. A permanent rip runs there too.
