Coumeenole

Edit Spot
About

favourite in Europe. its a great spot that faces the blasket islands and as you catch a wave you get to look at thehuge cliffy coastline

Atmosphere:
can't be beat...can be crowded at the weekends during july and agust with body borders and kids but any other time its awesome. i saw waves touch 30ft there in october in many occasions

Additional Info:
Beware bathers in summmer. Strong currents. Deceptively strong waves. Difficult to predict break, stick to one spot left or right (depending on preference) and wait for peak. Fast up needed, can be dumpy. really powerful waves that tube whith a nice off shore wind a real strong ledgy wave. one of my favourite spots that offers both right and left breaks depending on what wind is there
