Welcome to Bundoran

Surfing in Bundoran

Bundoran sits on the Donegal side of Donegal Bay and is the town most associated with Irish surfing. The break is an exposed reef, taking a north-westerly swell with a south-easterly offshore, and it is the wave the country's reputation was made on.

April gives twelve clean days out of thirty, sixteen blown out, two too small: better on clean days than Lahinch two hours south, and the same majority lost to wind. Between the two of them, that is Ireland described: the Atlantic delivers and the sky decides.

It is sometimes crowded, which for the best-known break in the country is milder than it could be. It is reef, and it is cold, and neither of those appears in a percentage.

Welcome home.
