Stoney Gap in County Kerry is an exposed beach break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best wind direction is from the east southeast. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the ideal swell angle is from the northwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Best around mid tide. When it's working here, it can get crowded.
