Discription of surf spot: Balbriggan, Ireland
ok theres two spots the harbour and the secret spot the harbour can be ok for some fun in the winter/spring with breaks running around the harbour wall and landing on the beach also a short break over the rocks on the left Secret spot ok if you go around the headland past the old boat house past the martello tower there is a hidden cove, not the first one you come to but the next 2 - 3 foot barreling waves in winter, not bad at all
