East Coast
Wicklow is looking flat for all three days of the Bank Holiday with nothing over 1ft to be expected.
South Coast
Tramore is also looking small to flat for the three days over the weekend with waves barely breaking 1ft and at a very weak and small period.
South West
Garretstown is looking like 1ft Saturday before dropping back to mere inches then for Sunday and Monday with light offshore winds. Inch Beach in Kerry could hit 2ft on Saturday with very light winds but the winds look to pick up on Sunday and the swell swing from the north west making for small weak 1-2ft waves before Monday drops back to less than 1ft for the day with light cross shore winds making for bumpy conditions.
West Coast
Lahinch is forecasting 3-4ft but this is coming from the north so expect it to be 1ft possibly just over for both Saturday and Sunday with Monday as good as flat. Winds are light Saturday less than 10mph with Sunday a little cross offshore from the north and Monday is light onshore. Tides are high in the mornings and evenings leaving most of the day for surfing but I would be popping into the local surf schools to rent the biggest foamie you can. Saturday’s high tides are 6.30am and pm, 7am and 7.30pm Sunday and 7.30 and closer to 8pm on Monday.
North West
On the north west it is looking like 2-3ft conditions at Strandhill for the day with light whispers of winds Saturday, weaker period conditions Sunday at 2ft with light northerly winds and smaller 1ft conditions for Monday. In the Bundoran area it is looking like 2-3ft conditions Saturday on Tullan Strand with possibly bigger sets in by the cliff with light breezes less than 5mph with Sunday dropping back to around 2ft conditions with light winds again before Monday drops back further to less than 2ft and light onshore conditions.
North Coast
Conditions around Portrush are looking small with 2ft conditions on East Strand with light onshore breezes Saturday. Sunday sees the period drop back to 8 seconds making for weaker 1-2ft conditions with light onshore winds gusting at times with Monday less than 1ft and onshore windy conditions.
