Sherkin Island
Edit SpotAbout
like I said if you get a job there take your board. but be carefull if you get in trouble your on your own
Atmosphere:
beautifal place and a good piss up to be had.
Additional Info:
there are three spots on the island silver strand is a beach which can be OK. cow strand which is a weird thin beach which can rarely produce a nice right and left with a takeoffs 10m from cliff faces so be carefull and a left boulder reef which is an absolute mission to get to. not worth travelling to but if you get a job at the marine station its worth taking your board.In roaring water bay many other islands have promising reefs and some genuine big wave spots most unridden. Quite good spot when the wind and tide are right. Not a consistant break at all
