Rosslare Surf Guide

Rosslare in Wexford is a very sheltered beach break. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Offshore winds are from the southwest with some shelter here from south winds. Windswells are much more common than groundswells and the optimum wave angle is from the south. Waves at the beach tend to peel to the left as well as a right hand reef break. Unlikely to be too crowded, even when the surf is up. Watch out for rocks.
