Mossies in County Kerry is a fairly exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the southeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the northwest.. When the surf is up, it can get quite busy in the water. Watch out for rocks.
