    Hi Guys

    I'm in Clare this weekend and i'm thinking of heading to Doughmore for a surf. I've never surfed here but some guys have said it has a pretty bad rip.

    I'm just wondering if this is true and also what is it like to surf in general?

    Thanks Guys

    It's true, two strong rips there last Sunday, one going right and one further out going left. Deceptively strong compared to other rips in lahinch or spanish point etc, only took a few minutes to find myself way way down the beach on Sunday.
    I wouldn't go there at all if you haven't ever experienced a few rips. If anywhere else is decent I'd go there first.
    Having said that as long as there are a few of you out and ye look out for each other, watch the position relative to the beach it can be fine too.

    That's great man thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I'm just on for an easy enough time tmw so i'll prob just head to spanish point or lahinch and try out Doughmore another time.

    Thanks again.
