Doughmore beach:

Can get very big, I've seen it change from a beginners wave at 4 foot to a massive closeout. Popular with good locals.
If its busy, head to Spanish point.

I dont take kindly to veiled threats on boards. Do it again and your banned.

EDIT - Actually, too lenient. Veiled threats are not permissable here under any circumstances. User banned and posts deleted. You can still take this to feedback if you wish, however I recommend that you do it in a somewhat more sensible manner.

There's a thread here in Feedback about this. Please note the title.

The admins and owners of this site have decided that the publishing of the maps, and any other information about "secret surf spots" is allowed on this site. This is the second time they have made this ruling, so I would suggest not pestering them about it again.

The topic is closed to discussion, the ruling has been made so you can either accept it and get on with things, or reject it and go elsewhere if you feel strongly enough about it.

Also, you'll note that off topic posting is mentioned in the Charter here. This thread is here for the publishing of information. If you want to help create a comprehensive list, then please feel free to do so. If you do not, you should refrain from posting as it is completely off topic and has been done to death over the past few days.

thanks for the list, people need to relax and understand they don't own the waves, I've met a few uptight surfers in my day but i've met some absoulet legends i find its the dead on ones who seem to have the most fun in the water. If possible i'd like some more details descriptions other than that once again thanks
