East Coast
Conditions around Wicklow look to be flat all day Saturday with the first sign of a wave coming on Sunday morning with a northerly swell which should bring waves to the north end of the beach but the winds are also moderate to strong from the north with very little shelter but can still offer good conditions. Both period and size are best early in the morning.
South Coast
Tramore is looking to have nice waves on Friday evening and into the most of the day on Saturday when the conditions then look to drop back. Friday evening could offer 3ft plus conditions with Saturday showing 2-3ft depending on tides and location with Sunday dropping back to small to flat. Winds are northerly offshore all day Saturday and light enough.
South West
Garretstown will have nice conditions on Friday evening with 4-5ft conditions with very light breezes with this continuing into Saturday with 3ft plus first thing dropping back to 2ft plus by mid morning but always with light offshore breezes before Sunday drops right off. Inch Beach in Kerry looks to have 3-4ft conditions with winds moderate from the north making for bumpy conditions and the strength of the wind will be gusty at times. Sunday sees the winds stay northerly making for cross shore bumpy conditions with fairly flat waves for the beach.
West Coast
Nice conditions are on offer for Lahinch on Saturday morning with the waves in the 2-3ft range with a small 9 second period and light winds from the south but these are less than 10mph so will have very little effect on the waves. by Saturday afternoon the winds have picked up and this will bring messy conditions so get on it early. Tides are not high until 5pm so the winds should allow you to surf for most of the day until 3pm when the tide and the winds get too high. Sunday sees those northerly winds continue from Saturday evening and this will make for messy cross shore conditions for Lahinch with the main swell on offer being a northerly wind swell.
North West
Strandhill is looking cross onshore all day Saturday with light winds but stronger gusts making for small 2-3ft conditions in the morning with a the swell building in the afternoon but this coincides with the winds picking up and turning northerly making for cold messy conditions gusting to moderate to strong by evening. Sunday sees a northerly swell with northerly winds making for messy cross shore conditions and not really offering shelter anywhere. In the Bundoran area it is looking like 2ft conditions in the morning with light winds first thing but this very quickly turns to northerly winds picking up in strength throughout the day and making for messy conditions at all spots. Sunday sees the northerly conditions continue with messy waves but it drops back to 1-2ft.
North Coast
Saturday in Portrush is looking like it will be a max of 1-2ft with light offshore winds in the morning before the winds pick up and then Sunday sees the winds go moderate to strong onshore for the whole day making for even messier conditions.
