12km from the town of Drogheda, which can be accessed off the M1 Dublin/Belfast motorway. Take the road from Drogheda to Termonfeckin and continue on to Clogherhead village.
Fun waves for anyone living in the area, and if a visitor you would need to do your homework on the weather forecast. Check out the atlantic coast for more consistancy and height.
The east coast slop surfers
It can get quite big here. However, the frequency of this happening is indeed similar to hen's teeth - rare. I have personally seen southerly ground swell wrapping its way up the east coast.That was during a phenomenal storm off the south west coast of Ireland. The waves were quite huge - 5ft plus and clean. The wind was offshore and mild. Moreover, the waves generally tend to be wind swell, east, n.east or south east and on shore of course . I've surfed in March 2006 to a sizeable N.east 'swell', that wrapped nicely around the head. If the waves are on your door step then it's a bonus but i wouldn't depend on it - Oahu or Pipelines it is not.
Kelly Slater....locals only ha ha.
