Month: June 2026

East Coast

Saturday looks like it could have a small 1-2ft wave on the east coast but this is marginal and only dependent on the wind blowing on the east coast with gusts forecast up to 43mph. It is more likely that the conditions would be 1ft more than 2 with a 5-6 second period coming from the winds. Sunday looks smaller again with the winds dropping back a little so only 1ft max.

South Coast

With the south winds that are bringing small waves up to Wicklow, this will see onshore messy conditions for Saturday with 2-3ft blown over waves. Sunday sees the winds drop back in strength to less than 20mph on the gusts but this is still onshore and only around 1-2ft.

South West

Garretstown is looking onshore for both Saturday and Sunday with 2-3ft blown over conditions Saturday and 3ft blown over conditions Sunday with the winds blowing directly into the beach so no shelter to be had. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking small and windy for Saturday with 1-2ft conditions before Sunday looks to jump up significantly to 6-8ft but with the onshore winds that are forecast, it could look more like 3-4ft with moderate to strong onshore winds.

West Coast

Lahinch is looking small for Saturday with 1-2ft max with only an 8 second period. The winds are also onshore so it will really only serve for lessons or those keen. Sunday looks to jump to 4-6ft but with the winds picking up also to over 20mph onshore, it will make for messy white water conditions. Tides are high at 4.30am and closer to 5pm and on Sunday it will be high after 5am and then 5.30pm.

North West

Conditions in Strandhill on Saturday are going to look small to flat with 1ft conditions at best as the period and swell drop for Saturday and then look to build overnight and into Sunday with Sunday starting off with light winds that then look to be quite gusty. Waves should be in the 4ft range with winds blowing cross onshore for the day making for bumpy conditions. In the Bundoran area, it will be Tullan Strand only on Saturday with 1ft conditions at best and possibly 1-2ft on the first peak. Sunday then looks to build through the day starting off with 2-3ft but building to max out Tullan and really only leave Rossnowlagh as an option but the winds will be onshore so I would probably skip Tullan altogether as it will probably be messy all day.

North Coast

Portrush is looking small to flat for both days over the weekend with offshore winds so give the guys in Troggs Surf School a call for SUP tours.

East Coast

Both Saturday and Sunday are looking small to flat for the weekend with no incoming swell enough to bring waves greater than 1ft. Check out Magheramore Surf School for SUP tours on Saturday as the wind is at its lightest.

South Coast

It’s looking small in Tramore for the weekend with 1-2ft conditions with a poor 7 second swell so this will probably only bring waves for lessons with no wind at all. Sunday drops back even further to barely 1ft with very light breezes.

South West

Garretstown is looking small at 2ft for Saturday with a weak 7 second period swell so this will probably only suit foamies or longboards but there’s no winds so it should be ok. Sunday is slightly smaller at 1-2ft so still only in the foamie or longboard range with winds slightly stronger and variable directions but mostly offshore. Inch Beach in Kerry is marginal for waves at the weekend with the swell just below what’s needed to bring waves with Saturday showing 1-2ft with light onshore winds. Sunday is probably going to be small to flat with very light offshore winds.

West Coast

Lahinch is probably going to be small to flat for both Saturday and Sunday with the swell being a little too small. It could break up to 1ft but with a small 7 second period, it will struggle to have any push for anything greater than a foamie for both days. Tides are high before 10am and pm Saturday and around 10:30am Sunday.

North West

Strandhill will probably struggle to break greater than 1ft for the weekend with light breezes with Sunday showing more of the same. In the Bundoran area Tullan May break up to 2ft on the main peak with light onshore winds on Saturday with Sunday having similar conditions but with much lighter winds that are barely winds.

North Coast

Portrush is looking flat for the weekend with light onshore breezes both days so not a lot for surfing I’m afraid.

East Coast

Conditions are looking small for Wicklow this weekend with the waves too small for lessons or foamies but good conditions for SUP, especially on Saturday when the winds are bare breezes. Give the guys in Magheramore Surf School a shout for lessons and tours.

South Coast

Tramore is also looking small to flat for the weekend with conditions barely breaking 1ft on Saturday with very light winds with Sunday showing flat and light offshore winds.

South West

Garretstown is showing 2ft conditions with light onshore winds for Saturday with Sunday dropping back to 1-2ft with light offshore breezes. Inch Beach in Kerry has onshore winds for Friday which continue on into Saturday morning but then drop as the day goes on meaning onshore bumps on the waves but it drops in strength very quickly with 4-5ft waves all day. Sunday then has light offshore winds and 2ft conditions which should see some nice longboard conditions on the beach.

West Coast

Lahinch also has onshore conditions on Friday that continue on into Saturday but they look to stay moderate onshore and not drop off as much until Sunday when the winds turn light breezes offshore. Saturday should have 4-5ft conditions first thing dropping back to 3-4ft later on, dropping further into Sunday when it should be 2-3ft due to the smaller 9 second period.

North West

Strandhill looks to have 4-5ft onshore blown over conditions on Saturday with the winds gusting from 15-20mph onshore making for messy conditions with Sunday seeing the winds drop completely off to bring much calmer conditions with 2ft waves at best due to the dropping period and swell. In the Bundoran area all beaches are going to be onshore for Saturday with messy blown over waves maxing out Tullan and leaving only Rossnowlagh for those keen for a wave. Sunday looks like the conditions turn good with 3-4ft conditions on Tullan with light breezes for winds.

North Coast

Saturday has plenty of swell for Portrush but the winds are moderate to strong onshore for all spots with a north west wind offering no shelter. Sunday looks to continue with more of the same with more north in the winds making for messy onshore 1-2ft conditions.

East Coast

Wicklow is looking like it should have some waves on Saturday morning but the issue is the wind direction as it is blowing east south easterly which is practically onshore for the east coast so shelter will be the challenge as it is blowing up to 40mph in the morning. The winds do drop in the afternoon but so does the swell. Another factor for Saturday morning in Wicklow is the Strip and Dip which is a charity swim that is on from 11-3 which means that the beach will be inaccessible so please allow the charity to raise it’s funds and conduct it’s business without interruption as the charity work is very important for those impacted and those taking part. There are plenty of other weekends for waves. Sunday may have a small 1-2ft wave which may get better as the day goes on as the winds are also growing but care should be exercised as it is wind swell coming up the channel.

South Coast

The winds in Tramore are the issue as the wind direction on Saturday is blowing directly onshore and is running between 15 and 20mph onshore which will make the 2ft waves look and feel tiny. Sunday sees the winds blow from the west north west which will make for cross offshore with 3-4ft conditions but bumpy.

South West

Garretstown will be onshore on Saturday with the winds light first thing and blowing stronger as the day passes with 3-4ft blown over conditions. For Sunday, this looks to build to quite large but the winds are moderate to strong cross shore making for messy conditions. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking big and onshore for Saturday so best to give it a miss with Sunday looking uglier so avoid also.

West Coast

Lahinch has some nice clean conditions on the high tide this evening (Friday) but the winds are due to turn onshore tomorrow Saturday and stay onshore for Sunday also with 3ft blown over Saturday and 5-6ft blown over on Sunday with winds blowing 18-15 Saturday and 20-35mph Sunday. Tides are high at 9.30am and pm Saturday and 10.30am and pm Sunday.

North West

Conditions for Strandhill are looking really nice with little winds on show with 2-3ft waves on the beach with possible bigger sets coming through and only light onshore winds less than 10mph Saturday. Sunday sees the winds pick up quite a lot with 3ft waves but with a cross offshore wind that will make thing slightly bumpy as it gusts to 22mph. In the Bundoran area, Tullan should have some really nice waves on Saturday with 3-4ft conditions on Peak 1 of Tullan and still fun 2-3ft waves down the beach. Rossnowlagh could have 2ft waves with a little more shape for Saturday but this will be tide dependent. Sunday has lighter winds than Strandhill forecast so expect 3-4ft conditions again but it may be cleaner in Rossy for Sunday than Tullan as the winds may favour there better.

North Coast

The main swell for Portrush is actually coming from the overnight winds which is showing a south easterly swell but there is a secondary 2-3ft wave coming through from a north westerly direction that should bring 2ft waves for those keen with light winds on Saturday but Sunday will be mostly small to flat with a chance of a small wave on West Strand later in the day with light onshore winds.
