Oysterhaven in County Cork is a sheltered beach break that has reasonably consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Works best in offshore winds from the northeast. Tends to receive a mix of groundswells and windswells and the optimum swell angle is from the southwest. The beach break offers both left and right hand waves. Rarely crowded here.
