East Coast
Both Saturday and Sunday are looking like it will be small to flat with a small wind swell coming from the east on Monday which should bring 1-2ft wind swell weak waves that should only be good for beginners or kids with onshore winds.
South Coast
Tramore is also showing small to flat for Saturday and Sunday with the first signs of waves coming on Monday from that Easterly wind that looks to bring a choppy 1-2ft wave with possibly bigger interim waves from a small southerly 18 second swell coming on a secondary push but 2ft will probably be the max with the predominant swell coming from the winds. The cross shore winds will make for bumpy conditions too.
South West
Garretstown has a different swell coming through from the west that is looking to bring 1-2ft at 13 seconds which could bring waves up to 2ft on sets with light offshore winds from the north and north east. Sunday looks to drop back and only bring small to flat conditions with light offshore winds. Monday sees the return of waves but only small conditions with 1-2ft on track but the winds on Monday are the problem with moderate 21-30mph winds from the east making for bumpy conditions. Inch Beach in Kerry is showing a nice small swell with offshore winds on Saturday bringing 2ft waves that should be good for longboards with 10mph offshore winds from the east north east. Sunday sees the conditions too small to bring waves to Inch with offshore winds from the east. Monday brings a larger period 17 second swell but only 1.8ft with moderate to strong offshore winds which may be a little lighter with possible land drag.
West Coast
Lahinch is looking like it could have waves up to 2ft on Saturday with nice light offshore winds from the north east making for glassy clean small waves with a bit of push from the 11 second period. Sunday looks to drop back in both swell size and period meaning only 1-2ft conditions but the light offshore winds remain. Monday has more of the same with only 1ft forecast with the possibility of bigger on sets from the 17 second period in the middle of the day but the winds are a good bit stronger in the 18-25mph range which may make it difficult to catch the small waves on larger craft. Tides are high at 6am & pm Saturday, 6.15am & 6.30pm Sunday and 7am & pm Monday so leave at least 2 hours after and before to safely enter and exit the water.
North West
Strandhill is showing some really nice conditions for Saturday with a nice pulse of north westerly swell that will make it right into the bay with 3ft waves and north east light winds. Sunday sees this drop back a little to 1-2ft conditions with light breezes from the north west for the day and Monday brings much smaller conditions with moderate offshore winds from the east south east. In the Bundoran area it is really only a Tullan Strand weekend with 2ft conditions Saturday from the north west meaning some lines hitting the cliff with refraction waves all day and light offshore winds from the north west. Sunday drops back to 1-2ft max with light breezes and Monday drops even further where it will struggle to break over 1ft with weak waves and offshore winds less than 10mph.
North Coast
It is looking small on Saturday at East Strand with 1ft waves at most with light onshore winds from the north. Sunday sees smaller again with waves struggling to hit 1ft and Monday drops back further with small to flat conditions and moderate offshore winds for West Strand.
