Drum

Drum is a beach break located on the Irish coast in a bay formation with eastward-facing sandy beaches. The spot features a relatively sheltered setting with clear evidence of strong tidal currents visible in the water patterns. Wave generation is moderate, with an average of 2.28m swells. Wind reliability at 49.2% indicates variable conditions typical of Irish coastal areas. The presence of visible rocky features and shallow sections near the shore requires navigational awareness. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore conditions. The intermediate difficulty rating reflects the combination of moderate wave energy, restricted bay geography, and tidal influences. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with variable wind patterns and minor hazard navigation. Water temperatures average 11°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The modest wind reliability suggests sessions may require patience or flexibility in scheduling. Local knowledge of tidal cycles would enhance safety and performance at this location.
