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.

Hazards & Notes

  • Narrow swell window · often flat
  • Rocks at the bay headlands
  • Remote · self-sufficient surfing
  • Cold water year-round
