Andrew, check out the link. Umfortunately, l do not have any first hand knowledge, although l would really love to visit Ireland someday. My family roots r in Roscommon.

''September, October & November r generally considered the best months to plan an Irish surfari for a few reasons: the North Atlantic starts kicking out low pressure systems with some regularity, the weather can still be somewhat warm (though rain is likely), & many tourists have gone home, leaving accommodation plentiful & cheap(er). Water temps vary from the mid-50s to the low-60s & one could reasonably expect at least one solid double overhead swell during a two-week stay. (It could also be pumping -- or stormy! -- the whole time.)' From Surfline.com
