East Coast
It is looking very flat for the east coast this weekend so only SUP for those who are keen to get in the sea. Give Hugh in Brittas Bay Surf School a shout for SUP Tours and Lessons.
South Coast
Conditions in Tramore are looking small to flat with very little winds over the weekend so only really good for SUP conditions. Tramore SUP and Surf School will be the ones to call down that way if you are keen to get in the water.
South West
Garretstown is looking small this weekend with conditions on Saturday only offering up to 2ft conditions with a small period 8 second swell so really only for foamies or longboards with Sunday looking a good bit better with good 3ft conditions with a 13 second period which should bring some nice punchy waves with good gaps between for getting out the back. Winds are light breezes both days which should barely impact the surf. Inch Beach in Kerry is showing that Saturday could be a little too small for waves with 1-2ft conditions max but Sunday looks like the day to surf with conditions offering up to 6ft waves and good punchy conditions with light onshore breezes.
West Coast
Lahinch is looking like a game of two halves with Saturday offering small 1-2ft conditions with possibly better on sets with winds blowing light cross shore from the south east before Sunday jumps to nice 5-6ft waves with nice clean faces with very light breezes that are barely going to blow or have any impact on the waves. The tides are high at 8am and pm and on Sunday at 9am and pm meaning you are good to get in the water 90 minutes after high on the way out and you have to be out of the water 2 hours before high getting out.
North West
Strandhill is looking like it is going to be flat on Saturday as the swell has a touch of south in it that is not going to make it into Strandhill but Sunday looks to be direct west and could bring some nice 3-4ft conditions with a good period meaning that some of the sets will be bigger but there should also be good gaps between the sets. Winds are light, less than 10mph and should have zero effect on the waves. In the Bundoran area it is showing small to flat for even Tullan on Saturday with Sunday delivering nice 4ft+ conditions on Tullan and maybe 2-3ft in Rossnowlagh with light onshore breezes for both.
North Coast
It is looking very flat on all beaches on Saturday with good offshore winds with Sunday bringing 1-2ft conditions for East Strand with light offshore winds. There is a good 14 second period so it may bring a little bigger wave on sets in between so good for longer boards or foamies or just for those who are keen.

Carrowniskey Mayo is probably the most exposed westerly facing beach in Ireland. The report on Carrowniskey is used locally for about 3 or 4 different breaks. One west coast report could give multiple results. Just a suggestion, love the information
Thanks Chris, I love to catch Niskey when I’m over in Westport on my travels. I always associate Niskey with the Tullan forecast as they have similar orientation and exposure. I’d add it in but parking wise, it can’t handle larger crowds so I wouldn’t like to alienate the locals who love to surf there
