East Coast
It’s looking very flat with for the whole weekend on the east coast with no waves incoming. Winds are light to moderate from the south west. Call the team in Brittas Bay Surf School for SUP lessons and tours over the weekend as the weather should be good also.
South Coast
Tramore is also looking small to flat with a max of 1ft Saturday with light to moderate cross shore winds with Sunday showing very light onshore breezes but still flat.
South West
Garretstown is showing small conditions with 1-2 ft max for Saturday with light onshore winds with Sunday showing similar but slightly smaller conditions. The period is very low so this will probably only favour foamies or lessons. Inch Beach in Kerry is showing 2ft conditions on Saturday with possibly bigger on sets but the period is only 9 seconds so a lot of the swell is only wind swell from the onshore winds gusting over 20mph. Sunday sees the period drop to 8 seconds so expect similar onshore conditions. Ok for those keen to get wet as there will be waves to be had but just not great quality.
West Coast
Lahinch is displaying 5-7ft conditions on the charts but this is really probably only going to be 2ft with the onshore winds blowing over the waves making for smaller appearing conditions on the 9 second period Saturday dropping to 8 seconds on Sunday. Winds are around 15-20mph onshore making for blown over waves but there will be waves for those keen to break out the bigger boards or foamies. Just be careful of the winds when carrying or coming off your board. Tides are high at 8.30am and pm Saturday and after 9am and pm Sunday.
North West
Strandhill is looking like it is going to be onshore for the weekend but the waves on Friday are supposed to be onshore also but that wind hasn’t appeared yet. Expect 2-3ft conditions with onshore winds up to 15-20mph making for slightly messy conditions for both Saturday and Sunday. In the Bundoran area it is looking like a small 2ft Tullan weekend with the winds bringing messy onshore conditions to both days with small period weaker waves favouring longboards or foamies.
North Coast
On Saturday East Strand could have a small bit of shelter with 2ft conditions from the 10 second period swell but the winds are blowing from the west making for slightly cross shore conditions. Sunday sees the period drop to 9 seconds making for only 1-2ft conditions with winds blowing moderate from the south west leaving cross shore conditions for West Strand or cross off for the Arcadia corner of East Strand.
