Tramore

Updated Sun 11 Oct, 19:36

Fun lefts and rights over sand that rarely have much power, from knee to head high, for beginners and intermediates on a fish, mid-length or longboard. It works at all tides, often better on the higher half. It needs a big southerly or south-westerly swell and a northerly wind, which seldom come together, so it’s fickle and poor in summer. Rips grow with the swell.
