East Coast
Things are looking small to flat for the east coast with only onshore light wind swell predicted of less than 1ft. Give Brittas Bay Surf School a call for some SUP tours.
South Coast
It is also look small on the south coast with only waves less than 1ft with light onshore winds predicted so not much happening by way of waves so check in with Surf n Sup Tramore for SUP Tours around the bay.
South West
The waves in Garretstown are looking small for the weekend with 1-2ft for Saturday but with a really small period meaning that the waves will really only work for foamies or larger craft. Sunday could get up to 2ft with light cross onshore winds so not the best but still ok for foamies or longboards if you are keen. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking like the swell is marginal for bringing any waves into the bay so expect 1-2ft conditions that may only break on the shore with Sunday showing a better chance of 2-3ft conditions with the winds blowing cross offshore from the south south east all weekend gusting at times.
West Coast
Conditions in Lahinch is showing that the swell is coming from the right angle but the period is pretty weak meaning only 1-2ft waves for Saturday with cross offshore winds for the south end of the beach. Sunday looks a little better but only slightly so I would expect more 2ft conditions for Sunday with light to moderate cross offshore winds again favouring that south end. Tides are high at 4.30 Saturday and after 5 Sunday so allow at least 2 hours either side for safe access and exit.
North West
In the Strandhill area it is looking like the conditions are going to be 1-2ft at best for Saturday with light to moderate offshore conditions with Sunday looking flat as the swell has quite a bit of south in it meaning that it won’t get into the likes of Strandhill or any of the north facing spots with probably only Tullan being the option but even this will only be 1ft for Sunday. Saturday could see 1-2ft for Tullan but more of the 1 than 2ft unless peak 1 is not too crowded. Winds are light offshore for the Bundoran area on both days. Rossnowlagh will probably only have ankle slappers for the weekend.
North Coast
So after a good weekend of waves last weekend in Portrush and a good welcome from the locals, and a few quid spend in Troggs, this weekend looks small to flat with very little for the improvers out there.
Surf Safe and Enjoy,
