East Coast
It’s looking very flat for the weekend on the east coast with no sign of any surfable swell on the horizon.
South Coast
Saturday is showing some swell for the south coast around Tramore but the winds are also light onshore and with the small 6 second period, you are probably only talking 1-2ft conditions for Saturday dropping back to flat and offshore for Sunday.
South West
The small swell is also going to be a factor down in Garretstown with the small 6 second period taking any of the guts out of the forecast 2-3ft swell making it more 1-2ft at best with light onshore winds for the day and then turning to 1-2ft for Sunday with light offshore so a possibility for the foamies or kids on Sunday. Inch Beach in Kerry is showing varying winds starting off offshore in the morning and then it looks to pick up out of nowhere but I would say this is an anomaly and the conditions could be 2-3ft with cross offshore light to moderate winds from the north east making it ok for longboards. Sunday sees the winds blow from the north with again 2-3ft conditions with light to moderate northerly winds.
West Coast
Lahinch looks to start off with some really nice offshore conditions on Saturday morning with 2-3ft waves with light offshore winds with a slight turn in the wind later on. Sunday sees that wind turn light to moderate onshore with still 2-3ft conditions but Saturday has the better winds. Tides are high at midday so leave 2 hours either side for safe access and exit and then closer to 1pm on Sunday so again leave 2 hours either side.
North West
Saturday in Strandhill looks like the winds are going to be the factor that ruins things as it is looking like 2-3ft conditions for most of the day but the winds are also from the north west which means direct onshore conditions that continue on through into Sunday leaving no shelter in any spots on the north west. Sundays swell looks a little better but those winds don’t give up so the 3-4ft forecast may be blown over white water. In the Bundoran area it is looking like 2ft on Tullan Strand with the winds blowing light onshore all day so bumpy conditions with Sunday bringing similar 2ft conditions with the light onshores leaving it lumpy and bumpy and slightly cooler.
North Coast
Saturday on the north coast says it starts off offshore but the winds have been onshore for days and quite strong so I can’t see the offshore happening with the winds staying moderate 12-20mph onshore for both Saturday and Sunday with 2-3ft waves forecast for Saturday and 3ft for Sunday but the winds may blow these peaks over.
