Fermoyle

Fermoyle is a beach break located on the southwest coast of Ireland's Dingle Peninsula, where a river estuary meets the Atlantic Ocean. The spot features an exposed sandy beach with moderate wave generation from Atlantic swell and a river mouth that creates dynamic tidal conditions. The coastline faces west toward the Atlantic, making north winds (0°) the ideal side-shore direction for safe kitesurfing. The area experiences variable conditions typical of the Irish coast, with average wind speeds of 10.5 knots and low wind reliability at 35.1%, requiring patience and weather monitoring. Wave heights average 1.31m, providing manageable learning conditions. The spot suits intermediate riders comfortable with tidal flows and variable wind. Key considerations include the river's influence on water movement, exposed rocks in the intertidal zone, and the requirement for thermal protection in cold Atlantic waters. Best sessions occur with consistent north winds during favorable tidal windows.
