Rosslare Strand

Rosslare Strand is a sandy beach break located on the southeast coast of Ireland, facing due east toward the Irish Sea. The spot is characterized by gentle beach access with extensive sandy bottom conditions suitable for learning and progression. The beach features organized parking and beachside facilities visible in the satellite imagery, making it accessible for day trips. Wind reliability at 31.4% is moderate, with best conditions arriving from southerly directions that provide side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. Average wave heights of 1.19m indicate small, forgiving conditions typical of beginner-friendly beach breaks. The rough-chop water pattern suggests wind-generated texture rather than organized swell lines. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters developing skills in relatively protected conditions. Water temperatures averaging 11.2°C require appropriate thermal protection. Key considerations include seasonal beach crowding, the shallow water requiring careful body-drag techniques, and checking tide conditions which affect usable beach width and water depth.
