3D

3D is one of the heaviest most dangerous waves in Bundoran. It’s a very hollow with an extremely shallow slab and dry end sections on both the left and right. Definitely for advanced surfers and body boarders only. It’s best on a really high tide and swell between 3-6 feet.

Things to watch out for

• Pretty much everything about this wave is gnarly!
• Barely covered sharp reef
• Heavy hollow chunks of water barrelling out
• Dry end sections.

If you do survive all the hazards and make one of its fantastic tubes it will definitely be worth it.
