    How can you say something like it'll be pumping tomorrow when you don't even know the conditions required to surf the local breaks:rolleyes:

    I was just kidding, that's what I associate with 'east coast surfing'

    anyone ever tried surfing in Dublin Port? Riding the wave of the 13.40 freight-liner from Liverpool?

    There were a few lads up in front of the car park, seemed to be slightly cleaner. I ended up on daddy duty so could only watch on

    Depends what you call actual waves!! It can be fickle, messy and generally a small window of opportunity to get on them...

    BBSS generally have eyeball reports every now and again, worth noting if a strong southerly comes in:
