Has anyone tried swff aroung this area from the 40ft out towards the park at the end of the colimore road (dylans park I think). It looks like a good area for swff.

Try early morning rising spring tides on the shallow ground at Sandycove and back towards Dun Laoghaire, might throw up a few surprises :P
