Fickle but can be A1 - Went there yesterday. Had a tiny onshore wind which turned most waves to slop but can be great on its day. I would make this my first choice but may just work if your passing

Inch beach (Near Midleton) - Gets regular swell. Much less hassle than driving to clonakilty. Can get big. Easy paddle out even in big surf using rip on left of beach. Getting b busy lately but ok in winter, no twats out!

We're all wrong - Just checked this post, about 6 months after I posted the last one. The Inch pointed to on the map is in Kerry, but the directions given are for the inch in Cork. I was talking about inch in Kerry - great mellow beach break, fantastic looking set up on the reef, though I've never got it good. No idea what inch in Cork is like.

Not the right place - This is inch in the South east Cork area, near cloyne. Its a tiny strand.
The inch in Kerry (SW) opposite to Rossbay is 6 miles long and great for surf.

inch reef rocks - great wave. have surfed this 3 times in the past year. just happen to be lucky to get swell when i visit. nice big fat longboard waves with decent few hundred metre rides. well worth it. watch out getting out as you can get fucked against the rocks. first time i surfed here had a great day but got worked getting out. snapped my board and fucked up my shoulder. still came back for more. bring the longboards with you. you'll love it

no title - This inch is in east cork not kerry!! so i guess youre wrong anonymous!!

By anonymous , 17-11-2002

Yep, wrong on all counts - Inch reef is an amazing wave, when its working. The beach is pretty mellow longboard type of wave, but can deliver 300 metre + waves in the right conditions

Wrong inch! - I think the Inch that's meant is the one Not on the map near midleton - theres only one inch round there. Youre thinking of the add "where an inch is a mile" in kerry!

Inch point? - Is this a report for the strand or the reef/point that parallels the coast road? I surfed both while visiting my uncle here back in '95. The reef wasn't working (swell not big enough), but I heard from the one local surfer we met that it gets incredible on a big swell- long, perfect lines. The whole area is beautiful, with tons of surf potential. I'm scheming to go back.
