Fingal goes off in the right conditions. We had a comp there many years ago with one of the heaviest waves known to the east coast smashing most kiters as they tried to get out. It was big, a little too onshore and mainly closing out but that didn't stop some unbelievable photos from coming out of it.

You can also ride down near the spit at the end of Fingal for the glassy waves on the opposite side, just make sure you can get back and you have a back up plan if you cant.

Not to mention that your car windows will be smashed, anything of value removed and your battery and tires stolen while you are out Kitin.

Not a friendly place at all.
