Fanore

About

Have had some excellent sessions here as the sun is rising and the wind has turned offshore in the early morning with beautiful four foot sets rolling in and only one person out.

Atmosphere:
Fanore tends to get overrun with beginners on sunny summer afternoons as well as bathers so if you're an experienced surfer stay well away or you'll only be frustrated and disappointed. Watch out for the two sections of rock above mid tide

Additional Info:
Great spot to learn at if you don't like battling with the crowds in lahinch as it usually picks up the same size swell as lahinch beach.
