East Coast
Conditions on the east coast are looking small to flat for the weekend with no signs of incoming swell with moderate southerly winds all weekend.
South Coast
Tramore is also looking small for the weekend with Saturday showing 1-2ft conditions with a small 5 second period which will produce more of the 1ft waves than 2ft but could be ok for kids on foamies as the winds are very light throughout the day. Sunday will not have any waves.
South West
Waves are looking 2-3ft in Garretstown with a good 10 second period which should make for some ok waves but the winds are moderate onshore in the morning meaning that there might be a bit of bump on the waves which should clean up later on when the winds go cross offshore. Sunday sees the waves drop back to 1-2ft max with light onshore breezes. Inch Beach is looking like the swell is slightly large but it has a touch of north in it so it should be a good bit smaller than forecast bringing 3-4ft conditions with onshore winds from the north west up to 15mph. Sunday sees the winds swing to the south with the lightest winds in the morning with 2-3ft conditions on the beach.
West Coast
Lahinch is looking like it will have some nice conditions on Saturday for swell with the waves in the 3-4ft range with the possibility of bigger on sets as there is a small touch of north in the swell. The winds are light onshore building on Saturday evening. Sunday sees the winds drop right back but the swell drops also meaning 2-3ft conditions in the morning coming back to 2ft later on as there is a smaller period meaning longboards or foamies should have fun. Tides are high after 10am Saturday and after 11 Sunday so leave at least 2 hours either side for safe access and exit.
North West
Strandhill is forecasting some really nice conditions for Saturday with 4ft conditions and light offshore winds for most of the day and when it does go onshore later on it is less than 10mph breezes. Sunday starts around the 3ft mark with barely a breeze before it drops slightly and the winds pick up a little from the south meaning cross offshore fort the day, turning cross shore by evening. In the Bundoran area, it is looking like a good day for Tullan on Saturday with some very light offshore conditions and the winds fall away to nothing for the rest of the day. It should be a solid 3-4ft for most of the day, tide depending. Sunday drops a little to 3ft in the morning and dropping as the day goes on and the winds turn slightly onshore, so best in the morning.
North Coast
Conditions around Portrush could get up to 1-2ft on Saturday with the 10 second period favouring East Strand with light offshore winds. Sunday looks more like 1ft waves with light offshore breezes all day.
