Shams...I know a semi-secret sandbar wave up tha Norf Coast. Locals only. Armagh boyz only welcome anytime.Barrals man. I love it on my longboard, sleeping in the wagon, and getting pitted for breakfast.

June/July, if you're lucky you'll get a wavePortrush = 30 mileswest coast = 100 miles, approx!the surf in Ireland is too fickle and inconsistent to call any time of year, just cross your fingers and hope

visiting relatives and hoping to score NI
My Dad and I are coming to Ballymena sometime between the end of June or early July to look up some relatives. Are there any shops along the Northeast coast that rent boards if there happens to be swell when I'm there, or will somebody loan me a board in return for a few pints at their local drinking establishment? What do surfers wear at this time of year, 3/2, 4/3, boots, gloves? How long of a drive are the decent surfing beaches from Ballymena? How long is it to drive over towards the West coast of Ireland? Is it relatively easy going back and forth from Ireland to Northern Ireland. We'll probably rent a car out of Belfast Airport. Not looking forward to the exchange rate...........damm our weak American Dollar! Thanks for any info. Hoping for some swell, any swell!
