For surfing, go to ireland in sept. best chance of good waves with warm water (16c).

Depending on where you normally surf a 4 3 should be fine in sept, maybe a little warm. But not enough for winter, unless you are a hardy type.

as for spots, it depends on your level. travel from Cork all the way to Donegal and you will get waves for every ability.

It is a lot busier place now. but if you are cool in your approach and open to the culture, you will have a great time.

Enjoy

Urge to go to Ireland
so I am dieing to go to Ireland to go surfing. Is it really that cold? Will I survive in a 4/3 with boodies and a hoody? Or am I going to end up as a block of ice? Im guessing its the warmest in Summer, but what is warm in ireland? when are the waves the best (not too big but enough kick to have some fun)? What spots would you recommend? As you can see I have a lot of questions. I dont know a lot about Ireland but I have been wanting to go for a long time. Its a beautiful country and the people seem great. If any one has some answers for me I would appriciate it. Thank you

back to kiwiland for some real waves
for real the irish are super friendly, maybe not as much in the water though, the guiness was awesome and scenery similar to home, but the waves were a joke, only scored 2 average days outta 1 whole month! glad to heading home for some real west coast nz juice, shame about the crowds in bundoran, some good set-up's though!
