Burrow Beach

Burrow Beach is a sheltered beach break located on the Dublin coast, facing northeast into the Irish Sea. The spot features a long sandy beach with visible sandbars and shallow water typical of Irish east-coast breaks. A developed residential area runs parallel to the shore, with green space and a promenade separating the beach from housing. The beach is characterized by choppy conditions and modest wave heights averaging 0.53m. With only 21.5% wind reliability and average winds of 9.1 knots, this is a marginal spot requiring northwesterly winds for optimal side-shore conditions. Water temperature averages 11.1°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Best suited for beginners learning in protected conditions, though the low wind frequency and small waves limit progression potential. The proximity to residential areas and infrastructure means the beach experiences moderate foot traffic. Kiters should expect variable conditions and plan sessions around wind forecasts carefully, as the spot works best during storms when Atlantic swells penetrate this sheltered coast.
