Killard in County Clare is a sheltered beach break that is often working, although summer tends to be mostly flat. The best wind direction is from the southwest. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. It very rarely gets crowded here.
