Garry Williams Point

Garry Williams Point is a headland-based kitesurfing spot on Ireland's southwestern coast, characterized by rugged rocky cliffs meeting Atlantic waters. The exposed open ocean setting provides consistent swell and wind from the Atlantic, making it suited for intermediate to advanced riders seeking challenging conditions. The northeast-facing orientation of the main water area creates ideal side-shore conditions with northwest winds (310-320°), which align reasonably with the area's prevailing wind patterns. Water temperature averages 11.5°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. The spot's primary challenge is its rocky, cliff-based geography offering minimal safe launch and landing zones. Wave heights average 1.94m with rough water conditions typical of Atlantic exposure. Wind reliability at 36.9% suggests inconsistent conditions requiring flexibility in timing visits. The spot suits experienced kiters comfortable managing strong currents, unforgiving terrain, and dynamic Atlantic weather. Proper local knowledge and respect for tidal conditions are essential. Access appears limited to specific entry points due to cliff topography.
