June bank holiday weekend

I know that it is too early even to check the forecast, but I would like to go for one day to the west coast to search board and wet suit renting services. Could you recommend what would suite a lame beginner? I've been already to Tramore, Lahinch (always crowded) and Inishcrone (my favorite place).

Obviously, I don't read the charts to understand what is good in which locations, star marking is my only lead so far.

Thanks in advance. By the way, I will most likely take my camera with me, so if there are very good conditions somewhere, please, let me know too, I would like to take some more pictures. Thanks.

If your going to be renting a foamie and wetsuit then does it really matter where you go? Go to your local or the popular areas where they do rentals. Anywhere in the west should be good this weekend

If you want good pics then go along the coast looking for spots where the pros are surfing.

Where ever you do go, get there early to beat the crowds and have fun! :cool:

I've been to Inishcrone and Easky the previous weekend and it was flat as my belly (when I am lying on it).
Early start is the only way forward. Especially when I don't understand the influence of tides on swell :eek:

Basic info there. Theres a whole lot more to it than that but it should be good to start with.
