East Coast
Both Saturday and Sunday are both showing as flat for the weekend with no incoming swell due for a long period.
South Coast
Tramore is also showing as flat for the weekend with the forecasted swell being below 1ft for the weekend with moderate onshores for Saturday and light breezes for Sunday.
South West
Garretstown is also looking small for Saturday at 1-2ft with moderate onshores winds gusting up to 16mph with Sunday dropping back slightly smaller and much lighter winds. Periods are small here so there will be very little power in the wave so it will really only support foamies or kids. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking small at around 2ft for Saturday with a small northerly swell and a secondary swell from the south west with southerly winds. Sunday looks a little smaller as it is only a northerly swell with a much smaller southerly with light onshores making for small marginal conditions.
West Coast
Lahinch looks like it could be nice on Friday evening with a light onshores making for 2ft conditions with a small bump on them but still a cleanish wave. Saturday morning starts off with light winds but the swell has dropped from the south and it is more of a north swell which could struggle to come in at anything more than 1-2ft with Sunday having more west in the swell but also west in the winds making for small 1-2ft onshore conditions. Tides are high at 2pm Saturday and 3pm Sunday so allow 2 hours either side for safe entry and exit.
North West
Winds on Saturday around Strandhill and the north west coast are southerly which should make for offshore conditions for Enniscrone and Strandhill with 3ft conditions for Strandhill with offshore winds on Saturday. Sunday has light winds with the wind direction slightly onshore but it should be light enough and slightly smaller waves in the 2ft region. In the Bundoran area it is looking like a Tullan Strand weekend with 3-4ft conditions on Saturday dropping throughout the day to more like 2-3ft with light to moderate southerly winds. Sunday looks more onshore for Tullan but it should still have 2ft bumpy conditions.
North Coast
Portrush will have the better conditions on Whiterocks and East Strand with the winds blowing southerly on Saturday and best first thing in the morning as out drops throughout the day. Waves should be 2ft in the morning before Sunday drops slightly to 1-2ft but the winds turn northerly on Sunday making for slightly messy conditions so make the most of Saturday.
