In winter it mainly closes out, but is one of the best spots in late Spring/Summer, lefts and rights but depends on the sandbars. Works best on the pushing tide. Watch out for the rocks and shore break!!

A very wide beach that can get a lot of swell but is very exposed and susceptible to a lot of white water! No crowds & not many amenities other than golf. The beach is rocky at high tide.

Cool!!!

For those new to arrive I hate to say this but you should've been here 5 years ago. The peaks are unpredictable and often has major close out sections. Odd classic days do exist, but you are better searching the Mayo coast.

It rules the planet with its gnarly shorey. Surf's up in Strandhill.....

It doesn't work on a decent swell anymore. Try paddling out to dogs hole on a an incoming tide with a small swell. That place is like indo!

Strandhill is excellent. I love surfing here... Good craic in strandhill.
Mark Dunne, Sligo
Sick shorey at low tide. A nice clean surf at high tide. When the swell is too big surf a classic point break down the beach or Indo perfection at dogs hole.

I like the tubular swells that roll in from the atlantic. I call them the (atlantic rollers) I ride the rollers at Strandhill.
