    I'd check the Lahinch Surf shop website... take a pic every day...
    Gives an eyeball report too.

    As far as what works best wouldn't know what conditions are best.. maybe call the local surf shop and ask??

    You could also check out beachwizard.co.uk which gives optimal conditions for certain breaks but again you'd be better off asking the surf shop, they will know best....

    That's not what I meant. I meant call the surf shop ONCE. Find out what conditions are needed for Lahinch beach to work... then look up weather forecast sites...:confused:
