It needs a good swell in the north of Ireland to send waves funnelling down Lough Swilly. The headland catches this swell at the end of Ballymastoker and produces good beach break and frequent offshore winds. Watch out for the rip along the rocks at mid tide. But the best peak is often off the rocks at high tide.
Overview
Atmosphere
A nice wave, rarely huge, but often in the 2-3ft range and always deserted. Still more of a winter break, and summer is good for kids and longboards.

Wave becoming localised
This spot is now heavily localised , big argument in the water last week when some guys from Dublin started dropping in on the locals. If you can't repect the locals don't surf this break.
