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.
Beacause it is more exposed to the Atlantic. Further North is protected by Ireland.
It's mountains, cliffs, bays and other inlets and also its islands. You also get very large waves along parts of Ireland's west coast.
It is smoother because the wind and waves are stronger on the west side.
Beautiful and very clean. You can catch some great waves there. Its brilliant for watersports and sunbathing!!
Waves erode the coast through hydraulic action (the force of the water itself), abrasion (rock fragments carried by the waves), and corrosion (dissolving rocks like limestone). Over time, these processes wear away the coastline, shaping it through the removal of sediments and rocks.
Bigger waves come in faster and winds become salty and stronger.

No because light waves are stronger and brighter and sound waves are light and dull
Oh honey, let me lay it out for you. The counties in Ireland that have no coastline are Cavan, Longford, Westmeath, and Monaghan. So if you're looking for a beach day, you might want to steer clear of those places. Stick to the coast if you want to catch some waves or just enjoy the salty air.
Little is known about the people who first inhabited Ireland during the stone age about 9000 years ago. It is believed that the first people came from the north of Spain, by boat. We known nothing about their language or what they called themselves, and little about their culture except from what we have found in archaelogical excavations. There is genetic evidence of people in Ireland that can be traced back to the region in northern Spain, proving the link.
An earthquake occurred off the west coast of Ireland today (6th June 2012). It was a magnitude 4 earthquake. Lots of very small earthquakes occur around Ireland, but it is not in a dangerous zone.
