Bundoran Peak
Bundoran Peak is Ireland's premier reef break—a horseshoe-shaped rock shelf that creates perfect A-frame peaks in the heart of County Donegal. The wave offers both left and right options, with the right being more hollow and the left longer and more workable. When North Atlantic swells march in and the winds swing offshore, Bundoran delivers world-class conditions in one of surfing's most rugged and beautiful settings. Cold water, emerald hills, and proper Irish hospitality await.
