Curracloe

Curracloe is a beach break located on the east coast of County Wexford, Ireland, facing directly eastward into the Irish Sea. The spot is characterized by a gently sloping sandy beach with visible sandbars and tidal flats in the nearshore zone. The long fetch across the Irish Sea provides consistent swell exposure, though wind reliability is limited at 27.1%. The residential development inland suggests moderate human activity in the area. Water conditions are typically choppy with small average waves of 0.71m, reflecting the exposed coastal environment and variable wind patterns. Best conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds providing side-shore flow. The spot is suitable for beginner to early intermediate kiters due to manageable wave heights and sandy bottom. Water temperatures average 11.1°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. Kiters should be aware of shallow sandbars that may restrict launching zones during low tide and monitor tide schedules carefully. The relatively low wind reliability means sessions may be inconsistent.
