About This Spot
Termonfeckin is a beach break located on Ireland's east coast in County Louth, facing eastward into the Irish Sea. The spot features a sandy beach with residential development and agricultural land immediately inland. A river mouth is visible in the satellite imagery, creating variable water conditions and potential current effects.
The spot is characterized by very small average waves (0.5m) and choppy water conditions typical of sheltered Irish coastal areas. Wind reliability is low at 19.3%, making consistent sessions difficult to plan. The best wind direction for side-shore conditions would be northerly (around 0°), which offers parallel-to-shore wind flow.
This spot suits beginners due to minimal wave size and sheltered conditions, though the low reliability and choppy water quality make it better suited as a backup location rather than a primary destination. Kiters should be aware of shallow areas near shore, river mouth dynamics, and the need for higher wind speeds to compensate for limited wave energy. Local knowledge of tidal and freshwater discharge patterns would be beneficial.
