Surfing up the proverbial creek... in Ireland?


Walt is pleased to welcome back -- from parts unknown -- Agent 46, who hasn't been heard from for a long time. She sends along this picture postcard, perhaps by way of letting us know where she's been.

Sadly, Walt has not been able to get confirmation of the exact longitude and latitude of Shit Creek. The best we've been able to do is this map, according to which Shit Creek would be somewhere on the Auld Sod.


According to a website for surfers, it's in County Clare, and is "an exposed reef break that has fairly consistent surf and can work at any time of the year. The best wind direction is from the east. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the west. Right and better left hand reef breaks. Best around mid tide."

The article says there are relatively few surfers there, even on good days. No kidding...
