East coast smooth hounds

I'm looking to plan a trip in the summer in search of smooth hounds .
We'll be staying in the arklow area and don't mind travelling to find our target
What's the best time of year and do you think the arklow area will show a few hounds ?
Thanks in advance !

June July and August would be good months. Plenty of good beaches close to Arklow that will produce hounds.
