Waves on the west coast of Ireland are generally stronger than those on the east coast due to the prevailing westerly winds and the exposure to the Atlantic Ocean. The west coast faces directly into the open ocean, allowing storms and swells to build up without interruption. In contrast, the east coast is more sheltered, facing the Irish Sea, which diminishes the strength of incoming waves. Additionally, the west coast's geographic features can amplify wave energy, contributing to more powerful surf conditions.
