Best swimming in Ireland.Scored hourly.

4Shor ranks 53 swimming locations across Ireland by today's live conditions score. The leaderboard above shows today's top performers for Beginner through Expert ability levels — the best spot depends on the current wind, swell and tide. Scores are updated hourly by 4Shor ShorSense™.

Low chop, manageable current and acceptable water temperature. Seasonal patterns in Ireland vary by region — Atlantic-facing coasts typically peak in autumn and winter for wave sports, while summer brings steadier thermal winds in Mediterranean and southern locations. The 4Shor app shows an 8-day forecast updated hourly so you can plan ahead regardless of season.

Low chop, manageable current and acceptable water temperature. 4Shor's ShorSense™ engine models seabed shape, wave energy, wind direction and tides for every scored swimming location in Ireland, translating them into a 0–100 score updated every hour.

Current forecast apps only provide swell, wind and tide data and in many cases expect you to do the analysis yourself. 4Shor goes the extra mile — we model how waves will break and build that into our forecasts to allow us to create conditions scores for your chosen water sport and skill level – something that no other app does.

4Shor uses ShorSense™ — our coastal intelligence engine that combines satellite-derived bathymetry (fancy word for underwater mapping), advanced wave models with wind and tide data to generate precision, hyper-local forecasts.

Yep. Both Premium and Pro come with a 7-day free trial. You get full access for 7 days, then decide if the sessions saved are worth the price of a post-surf burrito.

Absolutely. Whether you're chasing your first green wave or doing your first kitesurf body drag, 4Shor helps you choose the right place at the right time for your sport and ability. Think of it as a smart local who knows when it's mellow enough for learning and when it's time to sit on the sand and watch.
