About Dunree Bay
Dunree Bay is a small, sheltered north-east-facing bay on the Inishowen peninsula, beneath Dunree Head and its fort. Sheltered enough that it works on a different wind window than the open west coast.
Catches N to NE swells with S offshore winds. Mid tide is best. Small swell window but useful on the right day.
