East Coast

Saturday is looking very flat on the east coast with very little swell but moderate winds from the south. Sunday looks to have a little more wind swell coming up the channel but this is weak 5 second wind swell coming up the channel but this will not create waves above 1ft in Wicklow.

South Coast

Tramore will struggle to get above 1ft with the wind swell that is forecast for Saturday with moderate offshore winds all day. Sunday starts small and but quickly grows to 3ft with moderate to strong onshore winds making it messy for surfing and probably not worth the paddle. Save the dry wetsuit for another day.

South West

Garretstown on Saturday starts with a nice 2-3ft wave but the only problem is the wind direction which is cross shore to Garretstown with winds peaking around the 20mph so bumpy conditions but with the 14 second period, it could have a little bit of punch behind it. On Sunday the winds have turned direct onshore making for messy 2-3ft blown over conditions. Inch Beach in Kerry is a write off on both days with big unwieldy swells and the winds are direct onshore making for messy conditions and should probably be avoided.

West Coast

Lahinch is seeing another north westerly swell again this weekend and from what we saw last weekend this weekend could be smaller again. Winds are also cross onshore Saturday and direct onshore Sunday with Saturday coming in at 15-25mph strength and Sunday showing gust of up to 40mph. Saturday could have 2-3ft conditions from the north swell with Sunday showing a swell direction that is coming directly up into the bay making for large 6ft blown over conditions with the winds blowing the waves over making for messy conditions. There is also due to be a competition on this weekend for the Juniors but this will probably run on Saturday in front of Vaughan’s restaurant as Sunday will be too messy. Tides are also against you this weekend with high on Saturday at 1.30pm but not too big a high but it still leaves 2 hours either side out of the water. Sunday’s high skips forward to nearly 4pm with the clocks going forward making most of the day out of bounds on both Saturday and Sunday.

North West

With north west winds forecast for Saturday there are no spots that will have shelter from the winds along the Sligo coastline and on up into Bundoran. This means big and messy conditions for Saturday and this continues into Sunday but the winds swing to be south westerly Sunday but the winds are gusting to nearly 40mph making for messy conditions everywhere and with the swell forecast for 13ft @ 12 seconds there are very few spots that can handle that wind or swell. Aughris may have a tiny area of shelter but the wind strength will still make this messy. In the Bundoran area, Streedagh could have a wave on Sunday but the winds are strong cross shore leaving it very difficult to surf and control a board. Rossnowlagh will have onshore white water for anyone keen for a paddle but the waves will be poor.

North Coast

Portrush will be maxed out at all spots on Saturday with a 15 second period and over 12ft swell making for dangerous surfing conditions with onshore conditions so give it a miss. Sunday sees the swell drop back a bit but the winds are still strong so I’d recommend giving it a miss.

East Coast

It is looking very flat for both Saturday and Sunday on the east coast with big periods but no swell and good weather.

South Coast

Tramore is looking like it will struggle to get over 1ft on Saturday with very light breezes and Sunday looks like it could just get over the 1ft mark with light offshore breezes but not much outside of waves for kids or lessons.

South West

Garretstown is also looking to start out small with just over 1ft for most of Saturday until the afternoon when it could get over 2ft with light breezes. Sunday looks to continue with more of the same as it may get just over 2ft with light offshore breezes. On the west coast to Inch Beach and the swell that is showing up the most is a north westerly swell which will be much smaller than forecast as the current forecast of 8-10ft does not take account of the shelter the bay has so expect more like 4ft conditions with light to moderate cross shore conditions from the south making for slightly bumpy waves. Sunday sees the winds swing to blow from the north which will have a little more shelter at the north end of the beach with 3-4ft waves on offer.

West Coast

Lahinch is also looking like the predominant swell is going to be that north westerly which is forecast to bring 6-10ft conditions to Lahinch but this should be more in the range of 3-5ft but this is a big periods swell so expect a lot of volume in the waves. The winds on Saturday look to be light breezes from the south with a small bit of onshore in the afternoon. Sunday looks to be showing onshore winds now that it wasn’t showing earlier in the week but these are differing depending on the source. My wind apps show it to be cross shore from the north west while Surf apps showing light to moderate onshores but the waves should be in the 3ft range depending on the sets with bigger sets on the bigger periods. With bigger periods comes big gaps in the sets meaning that it may appear small and calm which will then be interrupted by larger sets coming through so keep your awareness about you. Tides are good from 8.30am Saturday right through to 4.30pm and on Sunday from 9am until just after 5pm but I see from an update from Ben’s Surf Clinic that the sand has been washed off the beach leaving large areas of stones on the beach which need care when entering and exiting the water with his suggestion that the northern end of the beach could be safest. It should also be noted that the Kenny’s Surf Open from the West Coast Surf Club is being held this weekend which will rule out the waves in front of Vaughan’s so be aware of the likelihood of the competition and give a wide berth.

North West

Strandhill looks like it could max out for improvers this weekend with the swell coming right into the beach making for big an unwieldy waves for most. I would be looking to find spots that will kill off some of the swell and leave nice surfable waves. With the period available spots like Aughris, Mullaghmore Beach or Rossnowlagh will probably be the safest spots to surf on Saturday with Streedagh a possibility on Sunday. Rossnowlagh should have 4-6ft conditions with light winds Saturday which should be as good as it gets. Winds are light breezes on Saturday with Sunday showing more of a north westerly onshore for the most part making for bumpy onshore conditions for a lot of the north west.

North Coast

Portrush on Saturday could be chunky with overhead conditions coming through with some sizeable waves with a good volume of water. Saturday looks to have 6-8ft conditions coming through with light offshore breezes with Sunday showing some stronger winds that have more north west in them making for onshore conditions for all spots on the north coast with waves in the 4-6ft range.

*Report written Friday 13th so forecast may change before Tuesday

East Coast

Saturday and Sunday are looking small to flat in Wicklow with a small bump on Monday later on in the afternoon starting to build to 1-2ft with moderate to strong southerly winds before Tuesday picks up to bring a half decent 2-4ft driven by moderate to strong southerly winds blowing swell up the channel. As the winds are strong southerly, care should be exercised to monitor your position in the water as there will be a lot of water moving around.

South Coast

Tramore starts off on Saturday with some cross shore moderately clean waves first thing as the winds are quite light to start with 2ft conditions. This swell is dropping throughout the day so best to get on it first thing when the swell is at its best. The winds pick up on Sunday and remain gusty and bumpy cross shore. Monday goes onshore and only builds in strength going into Tuesday so Monday and Tuesday are messy onshore making for less than ideal conditions.

South West

Conditions in Garretstown are showing some nice light winds for Saturday morning but these are onshore but light enough to still allow some 3-4ft conditions. Sunday sees the winds pick up to nearly 30mph on the gusts making for messy onshore conditions with the wind angle only getting worse on Monday and Tuesday. Inch Beach in Kerry is maxed out all the way through from today to nearly Friday of next week.

West Coast

Unfortunately Lahinch is looking onshore from Saturday all the way through to Thursday of next week leaving suboptimal conditions for improvers with overhead conditions Saturday, bigger again Sunday up to nearly double overhead continuing into Monday and Tuesday being bigger again. Tides are high at 2pm Saturday 3pm Sunday, closer to 4 Monday and after 4 Tuesday but with the conditions not being great, it would really only be for those keen to get in. Leave 2 hours either side for safe access and exit.

North West

Strandhill starts with light onshore winds on Saturday morning but this window is short lived with the onshores building from Sunday right through to Wednesday making for messy conditions for both the Sligo area and Bundoran areas with big and messy conditions. Aughris could have some shelter on the left side of the beach but with the strength of the winds forecast, this could be a small possibility but if you are in the area, it could be worth checking. The Bundoran area will be onshore for Saturday and Sunday with only white water messy conditions for the likes of Rossnowlagh or cross shore conditions for the likes of Streedagh but it’s not going to be great for any of the locations.

North Coast

Portrush looks like it could have some really nice conditions on Saturday with the best conditions likely with 5-7ft conditions with a god 12-13 second period and cross offshore conditions for the Arcadia end of East Strand. It will be onshore for West Strand and probably too much west in the winds for Whiterocks. Sunday goes fully west making for messy conditions for all spots. Monday looks to max out all of the spots so I would recommend giving it a miss but Tuesday then returns to give nice conditions with 3-4ft sets on East Strand with moderate to strong offshore conditions.

East Coast

Both Saturday and Sunday are looking to small for any waves to make it into Wicklow with only moderate southerly winds but not enough to bring swell.

South Coast

It is looking small to flat in Tramore for Saturday with barely a 1ft wave coming through with light to moderate onshore winds. Sunday looks to have only slightly improved on the swell side with 1-2ft but this is then ruined by moderate onshore winds making things small and bumpy, good for lessons and kids but not much else.

South West

It is the winds that may mess with Garretstown over the weekend with some ok swell coming through with 3-4ft conditions on Saturday with a good 14 second period meaning that there could be bigger sets coming through with bigger waits between the sets to get out the back. The winds are questionable though with 12-20mph onshore conditions but this is mostly gusting so it could have periods of ok surf. Sunday sees the onshores continue with similar winds but period drops back a little meaning more likely 3ft conditions but that onshore could make it feel smaller. Inch Beach in Kerry looks to be maxed out on both days so give it a miss.

West Coast

Lahinch is looking like it is going to be fairly big on Saturday with the forecast showing up to 8-10ft with the winds blowing cross shore making for large bumpy waves that will be a struggle to get anywhere near out back so it may be just best to settle for the reforms on the inside and not bother going out past your depth. Sunday sees the swell drop a little but not by too much with still 6-8ft conditions but the winds have a small touch more east in them which is cross offshore but a little gusty. Tides are high in the morning and evening so out of the water until 9.30am and then back out around 6.30pm Saturday with Sunday allowing surf between 10am and sunset.

North West

In the Strandhill area the waves are looking around the 6-10ft range with moderate cross offshore conditions gusting up to 30mph at times with some of the spots being able to reduce that down a little such as Enniscrone which could offer 6ft conditions with those winds blowing more direct offshore. Streedagh could have a 2-3ft wave with that good period meaning probably flat spells interspersed with sets and cross offshore winds. Sunday is still chunky with 6-9ft conditions but again, go search out the spots that will kill some of the swell. Might be a little too small on Aughris Sunday but worth checking around. In the Bundoran area, it is really a Rossnowlagh weekend with the winds not great on Saturday as it is moderate to gusty cross shore but Sunday has a little more East in the direction which could make for more cross offshore with 4-5ft waves at Rossy. Not clean but not unsurfable.

North Coast

Portrush looks really nice for Saturday with a good swell bringing 5-7ft conditions on that bigger period so expect large gaps between sets but then chunky waves when they come through with direct offshore winds that should be less than forecast with the land drag. Sunday sees it drop back a little to 3-5ft conditions with again offshore winds so not a bad weekend for the Port.

East Coast

Saturday is looking like it could be too small for any waves in Wicklow with only Sunday looking like the day for waves. Sunday morning starts off small with maybe only 1ft conditions in Wicklow before building throughout the day in both swell size and period which should see 3ft conditions by late afternoon with sunset now not until 6pm so the later it can be left safely the better. Winds are moderate to strong southerly so be careful to watch your position in the after and adjust accordingly.

South Coast

Tramore is looking onshore all weekend with those southerly winds that are bringing the swell up the Irish Sea messing up conditions on the south coast. Saturday should have 1ft conditions with moderate onshore winds before Sunday picks up to 3-4ft blown onshore waves with winds gusting to near 40mph direct onshore.

South West

Garretstown is showing the narrowest window for waves on Saturday morning from first light for a few hours before the winds pick up and ruin things with 3-4ft conditions turning to messy conditions later on. Sunday sees the onshore conditions continue with messy waves all day to be avoided. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking moderate cross shore winds all day making for bumpy conditions which may favour the northside of the peninsula on both Saturday and Sunday as the south winds continue. Inch may just be too messy.

West Coast

Winds are light first thing on Saturday morning before picking up in strength and going cross shore with the south end of the beach having the best possible chance of any shelter but the winds may be too gusty to have anything other than bumpy conditions all weekend with 4ft conditions Saturday and 4-6ft conditions Sunday but the winds will rule how messy things get. Tides are high at 3pm Saturday and 4pm Sunday so allow 2 hours either side of high tide for safe entry and exit.

North West

While the forecast is showing green lights for Strandhill, more northerly facing spots like Enniscrone may favour better with the winds being direct south and only a touch of east Saturday. Sunday still only had a touch of east but the gusts may be quite strong. Overall some clean conditions with 4-5ft Saturday and 4ft Sunday but not enough to get spots like Streedagh going. In the Bundoran area the period may be too much for Tullan with a lot of water moving around so I would recommend Rossnowlagh but the winds are not the greatest for there with cross shore conditions and 3ft waves. Sunday might be ok at Tullan but the winds look gusty all day and may make for cross shore bumpy conditions everywhere.

North Coast

Portrush looks to be the spot that is going to favour the southerly winds best with East Strand and Whiterocks potentially putting on the best show and direct offshore winds on both days but Saturday looks to be the day with the best swell. Expect waves in the 4-6ft range and bigger on sets with the period rocking a solid 12-13 seconds and a good swell angle for both spots. Sunday drops back a bit and the winds gust a little more so Saturday is the main event. Sundays waves probably won’t break 2ft but for those of whom the waves are too big Saturday should still have fun on Sunday as the offshore winds continue, just hold on to your board. Call into Andy in Troggs Surfs shop and the team will let you know the best spot on the day.

East Coast

Wicklow is looking small to flat for the weekend with moderately strong winds coming from the south for the weekend but the swell will not be anything enough to get over 1ft with a poor 5 second period.

South Coast

It is looking very onshore for Tramore all weekend with onshore conditions for both days gusting to over 30mph on both days making for messy 2-3ft blown over conditions.

South West

Garretstown is also blown onshore for the weekend with 4-5ft blown over conditions from the direct onshore winds making it a no go zone. Inch Beach in Kerry is maxed out and another spot to avoid.

West Coast

Lahinch is also maxed out for the weekend with messy onshore conditions all weekend and large surf so not safe to surf on either day.

North West

Strandhill is showing good conditions on the charts but the winds are gusting to quite strong at up to 30mph on Saturday from the south making for moderate to strong gusty conditions with waves in the 6-8ft range which might fair better at spots that can kill off some size such as Streedagh where it could have more controlled 2-3ft conditions and be a little more cross offshore. Sunday sees the winds turn westerly which means that no spots will avoid the winds. In the Bundoran area Rossnowlagh is the only spot that may kill some of the size on Saturday but the winds pick up in strength from light in the early morning to quite strong gusts by the afternoon so only a small window for somewhat clean conditions before Sunday goes to a mess.

North Coast

Portrush should see some really nice offshore conditions at East Strand and Whiterocks with 4-6ft conditions depending on the tides and the larger period means that there should be a decent push behind the waves but beware of larger sets coming through. Sunday should see 2-4ft conditions depending on the tides and also the winds are much stronger meaning that the best spot for shelter will probably be East Strand as there’s a good bit of west in the wind direction but beware as the wind gusts are quite strong.

East Coast

Saturday is showing a small northerly swell but unfortunately not enough to bring any waves to Wicklow with 1ft max conditions with southerly winds. Sunday sees the swell swing from the south as normal but is just below what’s needed to bring anything above 1ft.

South Coast

The forecast is for small conditions for Tramore with 1ft max on Saturday with light winds in the morning picking up later on and turning onshore. Sunday sees the winds stay onshore light to moderate with 3ft waves on a 7-9 second period.

South West

Garretstown is looking onshore on Saturday with winds from the south with waves in the 2-3ft. Sunday looks a to jump up to overhead conditions but the winds are moderate to strong onshore making it a no-go. Inch Beach is looking moderate to strong winds all weekend with Saturday showing up to 40mph from the south with waves up to 4-5ft but messy. Sunday maxes out with strong onshore winds making it a mess.

West Coast

Lahinch looks nice on Saturday with some good punchy 3-4ft conditions on the beach with cross offshore winds but more offshore with the best winds the earlier you get in which is when low is so you can surf up until the winds pick up around midday. By mid afternoon the winds look to be quite strong so best to get on it early. Sunday turns onshore all day with 8ft conditions but with the onshore winds this will just be messy blown over conditions. tides are high at 3:30 Saturday and after 4 Sunday so out of the water at least 2 hours before hand for safe exit.

North West

Saturday is showing small conditions for Strandhill with cross offshore conditions tat are best in the morning but with the swell forecast it should only be 2ft max. Sunday then picks up to 4ft plus but the winds are cross onshore making for slightly bumpy conditions nearing onshore messiness. The earlier the better for Sunday before it gets too much west in the wind. In the Bundoran area it is a Tullan day for a brief moment on Saturday morning before the winds start to pick up in strength with the winds gusting to 25mph by midday and then up to 40mph by evening with waves in the 1-2ft range. Sunday is moderate onshore Tullan and messy so maybe Rossnowlagh will hold the winds a little better and have a little more organisation than Tullan which could be very messy. It is not big enough for the likes of Streedagh where the winds would be a little better but swells are too small.

North Coast

Saturday in Portrush is looking small with 1ft conditions and moderate offshore conditions for the likes of East Strand or Whiterocks. Sunday looks much better for the likes of East Strand with nice offshore conditions and 2ft waves which could have slightly bigger sets on the nice 12 second period. Winds are showing a little strong offshore but the land drag could slow this down a little.

East Coast

After the storms all week the conditions in Wicklow are back to small with 1ft conditions on Saturday from a small swell coming up the channel with light onshore breezes. Sunday will be small to flat with southerly winds.

South Coast

Conditions around Tramore on Saturday are looking really good with offshore gentle winds and conditions around the 3-4ft mark with some bigger waves on the tides. Sunday will be smaller with 2ft conditions and light to moderate onshore winds.

South West

Garretstown is forecasting 8-10ft but this is only coming off the back of a larger overnight swell so conditions should be more likely 5-6ft with light breezes all day making for some excellent conditions. Sunday turns onshore so make the most of Saturday when the conditions should be much better. Waves on Sunday are more likely to be 3-4ft blown onshore. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking like it starts off quite large with waves in the 6ft plus range with light breezes that will make for some excellent surf. Even later on when it turns onshore, it’s still less than 10mph which will barely bother the surf. Sunday at Inch sees the winds pick up which should make for more cross shore bumpy surf with the winds picking up to 20mph plus with 4-5ft waves.

West Coast

Lahinch is forecast to have some really nice offshore conditions with waves in the 2-3ft range with bigger on the sets as the period is a healthy 13 seconds with winds barely blowing and in the right direction. Sunday sees the winds turn a little cross shore but the swell is still there to bring 2-3ft waves that should have a good push on them but still probably favouring longer craft. Tides are high first thing in the morning Saturday meaning safe to go into the water from 9.30-10 for the day and on Sunday closer to 10.30 before venturing in.

North West

Strandhill is looking small for Saturday with maybe 1ft of a wave as there is a touch of south in the swell which will struggle to get in. Winds are offshore all day and barely breezes. Sunday looks similar with 1ft at best. In the Bundoran area it is looking like a Tullan only weekend with both days only hitting 1-2ft with light offshore winds on both days. It is looking too small for Rossnowlagh to break.

North Coast

Saturday in Portrush is looking small to flat with the winds driving a small weak wind wave that will really only hit Whiterocks or East Strand but this is onshore wind swell and barely breaking at 1ft. Sunday sees the winds drop but no swell making it into any of the spots unfortunately.

East Coast

Saturday on the east coast is looking like it will have small waves in the 1ft range with winds blowing from the north initially swinging more offshore later but the waves won’t get much above 1ft. Sunday will be less than 1ft with light breezes. Monday has waves but they are blown onshore and messy wind swell waves so not worth it.

South Coast

Tramore looks really nice on Saturday with 3-4ft conditions with winds blowing cross shore but light enough with Sunday seeing the winds drop even further to less than 10mph with the waves looking more like 2ft before Monday turns to rubbish and goes messy cross onshore winds ruining any waves.

South West

Garretstown looks maxed out Saturday with the waves forecast to be 10ft plus with light breezes before Sunday turns really nice with 6-8ft conditions from the good 13 second period with light offshore winds for the most part. Monday as with all other places goes messy and should be given a miss as Sunday is the day for improvers. Inch Beach in Kerry is maxed out for Saturday and Sunday before Monday turns a little smaller but by a little smaller I mean 6-8ft with a strong 14 second period but the winds may cause hassle with strong offshore conditions forecast making it clean but nearly too strong clean.

West Coast

Lahinch is looking like it could be plenty chunky with the forecast showing waves up to 8ft and more with the 15 second period with light offshore winds in the morning. I suspect that the waves will be breaking way out the back so planning to get all the way out will probably be a struggle. There will be a lot of water moving around. Sunday looks a little bit more manageable with winds looking southerly at the moment with 6ft+ conditions with the winds turning offshore. Monday looks to continue with the larger conditions due to the 14 second period and 6ft swell which should bring but the real issue on Monday is the strong offshore winds that may make it a struggle to get into the waves although there should still be plenty of power in the waves. Tides are high at 4 Saturday, near 5 Sunday and 5.30 Monday but with the size and period forecast I would be leaving at least 2 and a half hours before high to get out of the water as the tides will rush in at they are small lows and big highs.

North West

Strandhill is looking nice and light winds for Saturday with light offshore winds all day. Conditions will be chunky with 5-6ft sets and bigger on the 15 second swell. Sunday looks similar but drops back to 13 seconds which should still bring 4-6ft conditions with light breezes. Monday sees the winds change and turn moderate to strong offshore with 5-6ft waves forecast. In the Bundoran area it looks as if Tullan could be marginal as the 15 second period will see a lot of water moving around making the first peak a little shifty so a better bet would be Rossnowlagh where it should be 3-4ft with good peaks coming through. Sunday drops back a little and should see good Rossnowlagh or a larger Tullan with lighter onshore winds before Monday sees the winds pick up to 20 mph offshore gusting to 40mph with 4-6ft waves on Tullan.

North Coast

The winds look to be the issue around Portrush with the easterly winds showing strong enough to make the wind swell the primary source of swell but the conditions do show a secondary swell of 2ft @ 16 seconds which should bring 2ft waves to West Strand with moderate offshore winds. This secondary swell continues into Sunday with lighter offshore winds for West Strand but Monday could be a little too small for waves on West Strand with winds swinging from all angles but lightest in the morning.

East Coast

So it looks like there are going to be 3-4ft conditions on the east coast tomorrow but the good news ends there as the winds are howling from the south east which means that there will be no shelter making for messy onshore conditions with waves that will probably be a struggle to hold position. I would recommend that this is really only for the experienced surfers as the possibility of large cross shore currents is strong and there will be a lot of water moving around. Sunday sees the swell and winds drop back to give 1-2ft weak onshore conditions.

South Coast

Conditions in Tramore are looking messy as those east and south easterly winds are going to leave no shelter with the beach very messy cross shore which should be avoided on Saturday. Sunday sees the winds continue from the east which means that it’s not a great weekend for waves on the south coast with the winds really messing things up.

South West

Things in Garretstown are looking a little bit more favourably but Saturday is showing 8-10ft conditions with a large 15 second period which means a lot of water in the waves so really only for the more experienced as this will require big duck dives to get through the conditions with moderate to strong cross offshore conditions. Sunday looks like a little smaller with 6-8ft conditions with much lighter winds making for much cleaner conditions. Periods are still up at 14 seconds so good strong duck dives and also good gaps between sets. Sunday is definitely the better day of the two. Down in Inch Beach in Kerry it is looking maxed out on both days with waves showing in the 15ft range with offshore conditions so only for those with serious experience and jetskis.

West Coast

Saturday is looking like it will be maxed out on Saturday but it is dropping back to look better for Sunday so I would skip Saturday and save the arms for Sunday when the conditions are looking more like 6-8ft with a good 13-14 second period with good gaps between sets but it will be chunky with that large period. Tides are high at 9.30 on Sunday which means that you really won’t be able to get in the water until 11.30-12 when the water starts to drop off the rocks and the ramps to allow you to safely enter the water.

North West

With the large periods on Saturday of up to 17 seconds, I am going to recommend that Strandhill be given a miss with the likes of Streedagh or Rossnowlagh being a better shout with the offshore winds and the beaches ability to reduce the size of the incoming swell. Mullaghmore Beach may even have a wave with the larger periods that are coming through on Saturday as the swell bends into the beach. Sunday looks more manageable but still punchy with the 13 second period and waves in the 4-5ft region with offshore conditions. In the Bundoran area Tullan will probably have too much water moving around making Rossnowlagh a better bet for Saturday. Sunday looks like a good shout for both Tullan and Rossnowlagh with 4-6ft conditions on Tullan and 2-3ft possibly bigger on Rossnowlagh with moderate to strong offshore winds on Sunday all day.

North Coast

Portrush is looking to be hit with those easterly winds that are making the west coast offshore and the east coast a mess. The winds are so strong that they are influencing the primary swell to show the wind swell whereas the actual swell is 3ft 15-16 seconds coming off the larger swells on the west coast. This means 2ft conditions with bigger on sets at the likes of East Strand but the winds will make it very hard to get into waves and harder to get down the line. Sunday looks much the same with strong easterly winds and 2ft conditions.
