The Peak, Bundoran, Co Donegal, Ireland (54°28´N8°16´W)

What is it?
The Peak is a perfect A-frame take-off peak with long wallier lefts and shorter, hollower rights breaking over a kelp-covered limestone reef. Surfable from around 2ft - 10ft.
Swell window:
Picks up swell from any low 998 or deeper out west of the Donegal coast. All the waves in Donegal Bay are wide open to west and northwest swells, although a big SW swell really lines up the lefts on the Peak into Indo-style perfection.
Season:
August - November is best. The water temp is milder thanks to the North Atlantic drift and we benefit from all the late autumn, early winter swell activity - the best of both worlds. You can get away with a good 3/2 with boots up until end of November.
Wind & Tide:
S - E winds are offshore. In the 2-6ft range it´s best 2 hours either side of low with perfect A-frames, becoming fatter and slower with higher tides until it gets to 6ft+ when it breaks through to high tide with a shorter left and a longer right breaking into the rivermouth all the way to the Boat Quay.
Interesting fact:
Due to its proximity to the Bradóg River, the reef here is home to a unique fresh water sand coral, found nowhere else on the Irish coast.
Situated 100 yards offshore from the town centre of Bundoran in Donegal Bay, the Peak is also one of the most visible and accessible waves in Ireland. Bundoran is one of Ireland´s most popular tourist resorts, with a small local population that swells dramatically on weekends and in summer. The Peak is at the centre of the town, so it also becomes a focal surf break in summer and at weekends. Bundoran has hosted numerous National and International surfing events over the last 3 decades including European Amateur Championships, Pro-Ams and the Quiksilver Masters and Groms contests. Away from the Peak, the Bundoran-South Donegal offers lots of variety in surfbreaks for every standard like Tullan Strand, 3D, Inside Left and Tullaghan.
