Sligo has 2 named spots and 8 registered clubs and schools for surfing. The clubs and schools are the ones Irish Surfing lists, reproduced as published, and each links back to that register.
Where to go
Strandhill
A consistent beach break that picks up almost any Atlantic swell. Strong rips, so swim between the flags and take a lesson first.
Mullaghmore Head
A big-wave reef that holds swells of 30 feet and more. Tow-in only, experts only. Watch it from the headland; don't paddle out.
