About Murlough
The it is a slow shelving beach so even when the tide is in you are only in about max 1 meter of water for about 30 meters out to sea. The tide retreats back about 60 meters when it is at the lowest. The waves are not usually that big unless there is some seriously wind beating onshore. Otherwise it's usually a bit choppy but nothing to worry about.
