Bundoran Main Beach surf forecast

Bundoran · Donegal · Ireland

Open the live forecast →

The small cove in the middle of Bundoran town, between reefs, just north of The Peak. It needs a decent swell to break and works around high tide, mostly as a short, dumpy shorebreak. The cliffs around it give shelter, so it can stay clean in stormy weather when the open beaches are blown out. Lifeguarded in summer.
