Ireland in September

Postby mdksniper » Tue Jul 05, 2016 7:36 pm

Is Ireland worth going to for a kite trip in September? From what i'm seeing online, it's not great for wind, but some of the tour guides there are telling me different.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When we went over last year (in June) I used 2 Facebook groups - "Heading Out West" and "Heading out NW" to get very good info.
I would think the conditions would be good in Sept - water is cold all year so there should be decent thermals if there is any sunshine.

Its not great for Wind?! Where did you read that?!

Ireland and especially the West Coast, Mayo Belmullet/Achill area is one of the windiest places in Europe!

The Belmullet area covers every direction of wind - ie. you can always find somewhere that works.
