Bloody Foreland

Bloody Foreland is an exposed open ocean spot on Ireland's northwestern coast, facing westward into the Atlantic. The coastline is characterized by dramatic rocky cliffs and jagged outcrops, with limited sandy beach access. Average conditions include 2.4m waves and 11.4-knot winds, though reliability is moderate at 41.9%. The spot receives consistent Atlantic swell and is best suited for advanced to expert kiters due to rocky hazards, strong currents, and challenging landing conditions. Water temperatures around 10.3°C require a wetsuit year-round. The narrow beach and rocky terrain leave minimal margin for error. Northerly winds (0°) provide the most consistent side-shore conditions. This location suits experienced riders seeking powerful Atlantic conditions and raw coastal scenery. Wind consistency is a limitation; many sessions may be too light or too choppy. Entry and exit require careful foot placement on rocky terrain.
