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.
Surf Safe and enjoy,
