Fanad Head Reef Surf Guide

Fanad Head Reef in Donegal is an exposed beach break that has consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. Offshore winds blow from the south southeast and there is no shelter here from cross shore breezes. Easily blown out by onshore winds Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the optimum swell angle is from the north northwest. There is no beach break and there is also a left hand reef break. Crowds are never a problem here. Take care to avoid the rocks.
