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.
