Bundoran's The Peak is a world-famous surf spot located in the heart of the town, easily accessible from the shore or the harbor. It's a horseshoe reef peak with a long left wall and a shorter right wall, offering surfers a challenging and exciting ride. The Peak works best at low to mid tide on the push, with swell direction from SW to NW and wind from E to S and SE being ideal. Suitable for surfers of all skill levels except beginners, The Peak offers a tight takeoff zone, great for turns, progressive maneuvers, and barrels. Although the crowd can be dense, the local vibe is friendly and inviting, making it a fun and memorable experience. With the outflow upgrade completed in 2018, water quality has improved, but it's still advisable to avoid after heavy rains. Be cautious of the typical reef hazards, sharp parts, trenches, and long hold-downs. Best surfed in autumn, winter, and spring but breaks all year round, The Peak is truly one of the funkiest performance waves in the world, not to be missed!
