Very little chance of any surf in the Galway city environs unfortunately. The closest regular surfing spot would be Fanore, its a lovely spot at the most northwesterly point of Co. Clare. Its just across the bay from the city, about a 60-90 minute drive. There's a surf school there too: http://www.surfschool.tv/

Lahinch is a little further away but takes roughly the same amount of time to get to.
