Doughmore Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(Ireland – County Clare)

Surf-default-break-image
Name: Doughmore
Type: beach and reef
Reliability: very consistent
Best Swell: NW Offshore Wind: SE

Doughmore in County Clare is a fairly exposed beach and reef break that has very consistent waves and works all around the year. Works best in offshore winds from the southeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell angle is from the northwest. Waves at the beach break both left and right. Good surf at all stages of the tide. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Take care of strong rips and rocks.

IMPORTANT: Beta version feature! Swell heights are open water values from NWW3. There is no attempt to model near-shore effects. Coastal wave heights will generally be less, especially if the break does not have unobstructed exposure to the open ocean.

Visitor Reviews of Doughmore


Jess from IRELAND writes:

Excellent wave, great for bodyboarders and surfers alike. Most definitely not for groms. Often works when Lahinch or Spanish Point are blown out or at full tide
