Most people arrive solo.

Then there’s the first surf, the first shared meal, the first sauna after the ocean, the first Donegal drive with a car full of people who were strangers yesterday.

That’s the bit we love about small-group surf camp.

You come for the waves — but the crew, the lodge, the slow evenings and the little moments in between are usually what stay with you.

Our first surf camp weeks start soon, with space from late June into July.

DM us “JUNE” if you’re thinking about joining.

Fanad has been showing off lately. 🌿🌊

Sunny skies, pealing waves, Mulroy Bay glowing, and the lodge sitting quietly in the middle of it all — nearly ready for another summer of surf, sauna, slow evenings and good people.

Season starts soon.

This is what we mean by small-group surf camp. 🌊

A few people in the water, plenty of space, shared waves, and that feeling when everyone is learning together.

Early season in Donegal is special — quieter beaches, long days, and the lodge filling up with the right kind of crew.

DM “MAY” to get the early-season offer for one of the first weeks.

Quiet mornings.
Boards getting loaded.
Sauna waiting in the garden.
The lodge slowly turning back into summer.

Two weeks to go.

Meet your coaches for the Winki Waves x Ruby Knox Longboard Clinic. 🌊

From 5–7 June, Ruby Knox is joining us in Donegal for a small, focused longboard coaching weekend at the lodge.

Ruby brings beautiful style and serious competitive experience — Irish Longboard Champion and EuroSurf 2025 bronze medalist.

Alessandro, founder of Winki Waves, will be coaching alongside Ruby, bringing 6+ years of surf coaching, experience from seasons around the world, and winters spent learning from Australian waves around Bells Beach.

The idea is simple: a weekend for surfers who’ve surfed before and want to work on flow, style, technique and confidence — with feedback in the water, land sessions and video analysis.

5–7 June | Winki Waves, Donegal
Last spot available.

Early summer at Winki Waves has something special. 🌿🌊

Surf in the morning, hikes on the right days, sauna after the sessions, wild views in between — and slow evenings back at the lodge as the sun drops behind the hills.

We’re open from the beginning of June, and May bookings for our early-season surf camp weeks get €50 off with deposit.

Come early. It’s beautiful before the busiest weeks begin.

DM us “MAY” to get your discount.
