Additional Surfing Infos |
| | For the experienced surfer, try the right at the Arcadia with a late take off, you will get barelled. For those inexperienced two pieces of advise. (1)Take off towards the shoulder off the wave or try a peak further up the beach, not Whiterocks though. (2) Only come here if you are fully capable of lengthy hold-downs and rip battles. Not showing signs of localism here, just concerned about the number of beginners who get in trouble here.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Unbelievable vibe, we all know each other. On a sunday evening in the Summer, maybe 40 of us in the water. When waiting for sets, most of us congregate and joke around. You wont find a better spot. Its La Graviere with colder water but a better vibe. At East, just come and let your spirit fly. |

General |
East is the best beach break in Ireland, the winter of 04/05 has been awesome.Very powerful, hossegor style, no localism, Troggs and a breath taking backdrop. I dont need to say anymore. |
