East Coast
Saturday is looking small on the east coast with the swell not really big enough to bring anything over 1ft to Wicklow. Sunday sees the swell jump which could bring 2-3ft conditions but probably more likely 2ft conditions depending on the tides. Winds are cross offshore for Sunday with the winds blowing up to 30mph from the south east.
South Coast
With the winds blowing from the south on both the Saturday and Sunday there are no real opportunities for clean surf on the south coast so expect 3ft messy onshore conditions Saturday and probably 5ft messy conditions Sunday with the gusting to over 40mph so probably best to sit this weekend out.
South West
Both Saturday and Sunday are blown out for Garretstown with messy onshore conditions so possibly sit this out. Inch Beach in Kerry sees onshore winds for both days with maxed out swells but with the winds blowing onshore. The winds are gusting to nearly 40mph onshore so its another one to miss.
West Coast
Both Saturday and Sunday are maxed out in Lahinch so no surf for the weekend in the area.
North West
Strandhill is looking like it will be maxed out for Saturday with over 10ft forecast with Sunday only slightly smaller so I would be looking to spots like Streedagh or Aughris which may reduce down some of the swell coming in with the winds offering some form of offshore conditions. Sunday sees a good 6ft with a 10 second period which may bring a 4-5ft wave to Strandhill with moderate cross shore winds which may favour more north facing spots like Enniscrone where it should be more offshore. In the Bundoran area Tullan will be a mess on both days so check out Rossnowlagh but there will be a lot of water moving around and winds should be cross shore so a little messy with Sunday bringing similar. Streedagh will have a smaller wave with lighter cross offshore winds but it could still be a little dumpy.
North Coast
Satuday will have some sizeable conditions in all spots around Portrush with well overhead conditions on Saturday so only for the experienced with strong offshore conditions. Sunday sees the conditions drop back a little to bring 4-5ft conditions from a much weaker swell which could produce less swell but after the waves on Saturday, less might be what is called for. Winds remain offshore with gusts up to 30mph.
