East Coast
Conditions on both Saturday and Sunday are looking small to flat for Wicklow with very little sign of any swell to bring waves.
South Coast
Tramore is looking like it will struggle to break over 1ft for the weekend so it will be small ankle slappers only with moderate to strong West North West winds Saturday and light breezes Sunday.
South West
Conditions in Garretstown are looking messy on Saturday with moderate to strong winds blowing from the West North West which will bring cross shore conditions making for messy 3ft conditions blown over. Sunday looks much tamer with 2-3ft conditions on the beach with slight onshore breezes for the day. Inch Beach in Kerry is showing big and messy onshore conditions on Saturday so give that a miss with Sunday looking much more under control although the winds are showing some strength but I would expect this to be much lighter than forecast with 3-4ft conditions on the beach a light to moderate cross onshore conditions.
West Coast
Lahinch is a similar affair with big and onshore on Saturday so while the swell is going to be much reduced by the north direction in the swell, it is the winds that are going to mess up play. Sunday sees the winds go cross offshore and they are much lighter. There should still be a bit of bump on the waves from the day before but it should still have 2-3ft conditions with the potential for bigger on sets. Tides are high at 4:30 Saturday and 5 on Sunday so be out of the water around 2:30-3 each day to allow for safe exit.
North West
Strandhill and all the spots around it will be maxed out on Saturday with the size of the conditions and the wind direction which will even ruin things for Aughris which tends to offer shelter in bigger conditions so Saturday is a write off. Sunday looks like it could be a really good Rossnowlagh day with 4ft conditions on the beach. Strandhill will be chunky with 5-6ft conditions with light breezes only. Tullan could have a wave also but it will offer a lot more push and could be messy with a good bit of water moving around.
North Coast
All the spots around Portrush will be maxed out on Saturday with the conditions offering no shelter and the onshore winds shall continue to leave a little bump on the conditions going into Sunday but the winds drop significantly on Sunday to offer some good conditions on East Strand and Whiterocks which should both see 4-6ft conditions with some good juice in the waves.
