    Hey

    So after an amazing trip to Bali and taking on a number of reefs for the 1st time I am looking to find some nice breaks along the west coast which are not too heavy and work at mid/high tide..

    Does anyone have any advice on some "learning" reef breaks that would be suitable?

    Grupuk bay in Lombok is worth the trek if your there for a while. As mellow as it gets over there. Beautiful place too. Didn't surf anything mellow in Bali. You could pick up a guide book somewhere.
    Id say he means the west coast of Ireland

    Not on a public forum! First off, there are way too many variables to give any worthwhile advice. Secondly, this spoonfeeding approach will not help you learn or develop.

    Seriously though, just go and travel along the coast, watch different reefs at different stages of the tides, see how others are getting in / getting out, how particular conditions work on the spots.

    The internet has no idea of what your level of surfing is, where you are based, what you surf etc.

    Just to clarify it is the West of Ireland I am looking at..

    Some of the reefs I know are PMPA/**** Pipi (Bundoran), Black Spot, The peak, Easky, Spanish Point as I have been to them a few times so would any of them be good to start paddling into?

    As I said I just started surfing reefs while in Bali but I can control the board as in I will not just start firing along taking out all in front of me and I am good at getting to my feet and ok at turning the board.. Not good in the slightest as a surfer but hey thats why I am asking as I found the reefs in Bali much nicer to surf as they where allot easier to read and get in position over the beach breaks.
