Enniscrone

Enniscrone is located in County Sligo on Ireland's northwest coast, situated within a sheltered bay facing southwest toward the Atlantic. The spot features extensive sandy beaches with tidal mudflats visible at lower tides, typical of Irish estuarine environments. The bay configuration provides natural wind acceleration and protection from the most severe ocean swells. With average winds of only 9.2 knots and 22.8% reliability, this spot requires patience and selective session planning, typically best during Atlantic storm systems. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) or southeast (225°) provide the safest riding conditions. The shallow tidal bay makes this accessible for beginners once conditions align, though low average wave heights (1.68m) mean flat-water riding dominates. Water temperatures average 10.6°C, requiring winter-appropriate thermal protection. The proximity to residential infrastructure and caravan parks requires awareness of public areas. Best suited for local riders familiar with tidal patterns and able to commit to limited wind windows.
