Doolin Point surf forecast
Doolin · Clare · Ireland
A right that peels along the limestone shelf just south of Doolin pier, with a few more peaks inside the bay. With a clean easterly wind it runs as a long, fast wall with some tube sections; without it the wave turns sectiony. Low to mid tide, and the sharp reef and tricky access keep the crowd small.
