### Instruction: Is Ireland a good surf spot?
### Response: Yes it is. Ireland is seen as one of the best hidden gems for surfing in the world particularly in winter when waves can reach heights of 40ft+. Global professionals such as Kelly Slater, Mick Fanning and Stephanie Gilmore travel to Ireland on a regular basis for the surf. Some recommended areas for surfing are, Sligo Tramore Beach, Bundoran, Dunfanaghy or most West Coast beaches that attract a larger swell. The water is cold 365 days of the year with highest temperatures of 14 degrees Celsius in the Summer so a 5ml thick wetsuit is recommend all year round.
