4ft waheeeey
The people who are saying that this is 4ft all the time are the people on the yellow foam boards that you see in most of the pictures. (4ft = 1.5ft mush)I live 10 mins away in Kinsale and have seen it 4ft maybe twice this year. Even when it is 4ft it's usually fat straighthanders. No self-respecting surfer would surf here unless desperate. Out of the 20 photos, can you see even one wave you would like to be on?

Miss G-town
Grew up in Old Head and started surfing in G-town Summer 2004. Currently living in Perth and head down to Margaret River and North regularly for the nice breaks... still miss the local though. And for those who complain about it... I've been surfing in Oz for 2 years now and have never had clean 3-4 footers on a beach entirely to myself which I used get all the time back there. So shut the hell up and appreciate it.

need a board
Hey Guys, I´m just visiting Cork so I haven´t got a board with me. Is there any possibility to rent a board + wetsuit in/near Garretstown? Thanks a million...

what a load of bull...
I live a few miles from garretstown, and I can assure its not 4 foot evert time...more likley to be sloppy and blown out.
