点评:I've been surfing here for years. Water quality is superb. Lifeguarded from Spring to Autumn.
As a surf spot it's good for beginners on any tide (but the more advanced will know that certain tides work better than others on this beach, the waves have a distinct "tidal character" shall we say...). Surf lessons run throughout summer/Easter/Halloween.
Like any beach, in big surf the rips can get very strong, particularly near the river section and rocks at the far end. I would strongly advise against swimming when the surf is bigger on this beach.
I would say though due to how sheltered it is from the full force of the N.Atlantic (it faces N.East), and how well known it is amongst the surfing community, this is probably a contender for the safest beach in Donegal or Ireland which makes it particularly good for beginner surfers. It needs a really big swell to get punchy waves here.
Getting the weather is roll of the dice, like any part of Donegal, but on a nice day with good waves, there's no other beach I'd rather surf on.
翻译:我在这里冲浪已经很多年了。水质极佳,从春季到秋季都有救生员。
作为冲浪胜地,无论什么潮汐,这里都适合初学者(但经验丰富的冲浪者会知道,这片海滩的某些潮汐比其他潮汐更适合,我们可以说,这里的海浪有独特的“潮汐特征”……)。冲浪课程贯穿整个夏季/复活节/万圣节。
和任何海滩一样,在大浪中,激流会非常强劲,尤其是在靠近河流和远端岩石的地方。我强烈建议不要在这片海滩的浪较大时游泳。
不过,我想说,由于这里避开了北大西洋的强劲冲击(面向东北),而且在冲浪圈很有名,这里可能是多尼戈尔郡或爱尔兰最安全的海滩之一,因此特别适合冲浪初学者。这里需要很大的浪涌才能形成强劲的海浪。
就像多尼戈尔的任何地方一样,天气的好坏也取决于运气,但在天气晴朗、海浪适宜的日子里,没有其他海滩比这里更适合冲浪了。
