Carrownisky Surf Guide

Carrownisky in Mayo and Achill Island is a reasonably exposed beach break that has very consistent surf and works all around the year. Ideal winds are from the east and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Light onshore winds ruin the qulaity Windswells and groundswells in equal measure and the ideal swell angle is from the west northwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Surfable at all stages of the tide. It's sometimes crowded here. Be wary of rips - they make surfing here dangerous.
