Surfers in the Bay at Lahinch in County Clare.The west coast of Ireland has become extremely popular for surfing and when the wind blows in from the Atlantic we get the right kind of waves for this. This photo was taken just a few days ago and you can see quiet a number of surfers enjoying themselves. This particular day was overcast, as you can see, and our weather at the moment is a bit of a mixed bag. Lahinch is a great place for this as the bay is horseshoe shaped and very safe for both swimming and surfing. I must emphasise that the outer bay area at the mouth of the this bay is extremely dangerous as the currents there are treacherous. Only the otherday a poor unfortunate woman was swept out to sea while swimming in the outer bay area. Never swim unless you know for sure whether or not it is a safe area. Our western coast has many safe swimming areas but there are also many headlands and islands which create dangerous currents in many areas. Just beware and get local advice.
I am enjoying a couple of days just relaxing and catching up with enquiries so if you need me for anything just message me.
