Doughmore Beach
Edit SpotAbout
this beach is a mile long when every where else is flat this will be the only place working it has dozens of surfable waves ranging through all standards when every where else is big this place is too big, strong rips, serious dumpers but in a 3metres plus swell with offshore wind you won,t ever want to leave
Additional Info:
jacks up and breaks left slow powerful wave ideal for an introduction into big waves, reef is fairly deep on a big swell can be 10foot plus.works best about six foot will give you genuine 10-12 foot faces. down side big big close outs that clean the place out stay right to avoid them.
