The Peak is Ireland's best known wave. It is situated 150 yards off the shore in the middle of Bundoran. It’s a perfect ‘Peak’ with a left and right running down the reef either side. The left is longer with more sections and the right is shorter and hollower.
The Peak is suited to the more experienced surfer, because of its shallow breaking hollow nature. It works best at low to mid tide on the push. It starts to break at 2-3 foot and it can handle triple overhead waves. The Peak is best on an offshore wind but can be loads of fun on a light onshore making the sections super smackable.
The peak has played host to countless surfing contests and events over the last 3 decades... examples include the European Surfing Championships in 1997 and the Quiksilver World Masters in 2001. Most of the world’s best surfers including Kelly Slater and Tom Curran have scored some great rides on the Peak.
This cache and the two others along the "Bundoran Seaside" hopefully will relate the beauty and power of the sea & coastline as we see it in our home town.
This cache is in a very heavily muggled area so please be stealthy in finding and replacing. There is no room for trackables or swapables. Make sure to replace out of sight as it was originally. You DO NOT NEED TO CROSS THE RAILING to get the cache.
