Rosslare Surf Guide

Rosslare in Wexford is a very sheltered beach break. Summer in particular tends to be flat. Offshore winds blow from the southwest with some shelter here from south winds. Windswells are much more common than groundswells and the ideal wave direction is from the south. The beach breaks favour lefts and there is also a right hand reef break. Rarely crowded here. Rocks are a hazard.
