- For surfing, go to ireland in sept. best chance of good waves with warm water (16c).
Depending on where you normally surf a 4 3 should be fine in sept, maybe a little warm. But not enough for winter, unless you are a hardy type.
as for spots, it depends on your level. travel from Cork all the way to Donegal and you will get waves for every ability.
It is a lot busier place now. but if you are cool in your approach and open to the culture, you will have a great time.
Enjoy
