Dollymount

Dollymount is a beach break located on the northern edge of Dublin Bay, where the Tolka River estuary meets the Irish Sea. The spot features a long sandy beach with gradual water depth, backed by tidal flats and marshland. The coastline faces east toward the water, making north and south winds side-shore. Prevailing winds from the north would be ideal for this location. The spot offers relatively protected conditions compared to open ocean exposure, with low average wave heights (0.53m) making it suitable for beginners and those learning progression. Wind reliability at 20.4% suggests sessions are somewhat inconsistent. The shallow, choppy water conditions typical of estuarine environments require attention to tidal changes and mudflat formations. A nearby road and surrounding infrastructure limit launch and landing options. Best conditions occur during north winds with incoming tide to maintain adequate water depth across the shallows.
