When the lighthouse at Howth is casting its beam across the bay, you know it's gotta be good (good as in carnage  :o  :D).

Main engineering building third floor. Front of the building the back of the builiding faces towards the bar. It was supposed to be twice the size but that's never going to happen now.

Ugh, sounds salty, windy and just generally horrible. The surf isn't even predicted to be too big.
Why not just go to Sluice? it's running the whole time theses days.
