East Coast

Waves on the East Coast are looking small for the weekend with a max of 0-1ft with the best chance of waves working is around Saturday evening into Sunday morning but this will still only work up to 1ft. Winds on Saturday are blowing up to 30mph on Saturday evening from the south with the winds turning moderate to strong offshore on Sunday with westerly winds blowing between 20 and 35mph.

South Coast

Tramore is looking onshore for the weekend with both Saturday and Sunday showing winds blowing from the southwest on Saturday right up into the bay with the forecast showing 2ft weak waves with the winds being the main driver of the waves bringing a 6 second weak period. On Sunday the waves are still only 2ft but at 7 seconds with 20mph+ cross onshore waves from the west.

South West

Garretstown sees similar 2ft blown onshore waves on Saturday with a 6 second period bringing weak waves suitable for lessons only. Sunday sees the swell jump to bring waves of 3-4ft but with the winds turning to the west making for messy onshore conditions. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking like it starts 3ft with moderate to strong onshore winds all day but this builds throughout the day up to 6ft plus but these waves will be blown over with the strong onshores by evening. Sunday looks to max out Inch Beach.

West Coast

Lahinch is looking like it is going to be blown onshore all weekend with the winds showing 17-35mph onshore all weekend with Saturdays winds blowing direct onshore into the bay from the southwest with Sunday’s winds blowing onshore from the west. With these winds having no land to pass over, there will be no shelter. Waves should be in the 3ft blown over Saturday and 6ft+ blown over Sunday but I would recommend giving it a miss given the strength of the winds and waves. Tides are high at 4pm Saturday and closer to 5 Sunday but I would ensure to be out of the water at least 2.5 hours before each day.

North West

Conditions in Strandhill Saturday are showing 3-4ft for Strandhill for Saturday with the winds being the only issue with cross onshore with winds in the 14-20mph strength. This may suit more northerly facing spots like Enniscrone but this will drop a lot of the size of the waves so possibly only 2ft weaker conditions with cross offshore. Sunday sees the winds turn from the west which will make for messy conditions and significant jump in the size of the waves so give it a miss Sunday. In the Bundoran area it is onshore all weekend of varying strengths with Saturday showing Tullan 3-5ft onshore with a 9 second period so messy conditions with Sunday showing Tullan maxed out leaving only Rossnowlagh but with the winds blowing up to 30mph plus onshore, I would expect it to be white water conditions only.

North Coast

It’s looking like small conditions around Portrush with 2ft conditions for Saturday with moderate cross offshore winds for East Strand dropping later on to light breezes by evening but still only small. Sunday sees the swell jump but also the winds turning westerly around the Port leaving very little opportunity for any of the spots to offer shelter with waves in the 3-4ft region blown messy.

East Coast

With another week of high pressures and good weather there is small to flat swell forecast for the east coast. Call into Hugh in Brittas Bay Surf School for SUP tours. They may also have lessons on the foamies for kids or beginners.

South Coast

Conditions remain small to flat on the south coast also with Tramore showing only around 6” but good SUP conditions. Give the team in Tramore Surf & SUP school a shout for tours.

South West

Garretstown is showing the possibility of 1ft which could go 1-2ft at times on the tides so possibly enough for a push on the Foamie for those keen to keep the arms going with Saturday evening and Sunday morning showing the most promise when it could go up to 2ft with light breezes. Inch Beach in Kerry is showing 2-3ft for Saturday but this will be with very light breezes of less than 10mph and a possibility of bigger coming into Saturday evening and Sunday morning of up to 3ft before it drops back again to . Sunday sees a good start but quickly drops back to 2ft again with the period and swell dropping as the day goes on so get on it early.

West Coast

So the forecast for Lahinch has been much smaller than the waves that have been turning up and this weekend I suspect will be no different. Currently (Friday) the forecast is for 3-4ft and the waves are barely breaking at 2ft for the longboarders. With the weekend showing 3-5ft on the forecast, I am going to predict that it will be between 2-3ft with light breezes but this could be 2ft depending on the tide when it is checked. Sunday looks to have a smaller 10 second period than Saturday’s 12 second period so waves will probably be more likely in the 1-2ft range but hopefully more of the 2ft variety depending on tides. Tides are high at 9am and pm Saturday and Sunday at 9.30am and pm so allow 1.5 to 2 hours either side for safe access and exit.

North West

Strandhill is showing 2-3ft conditions but there is very little north in the swell so I would expect this to be more in the 1-2ft range for Saturday with Sunday showing more likely small to 1ft with light breezes all weekend. In the Bundoran area things are looking nice today (Friday) at 2ft @ 12 seconds but Saturday looks to drop back to just over 1ft which may bring 1-2ft at Tullan but this will probably only bring the bigger waves to the first peak with most of the beach only showing 1ft with Sunday showing more of the same. Winds are light breezes onshore but these are less than 5mph so not enough to mess with the waves.

North Coast

It looked like some really epic conditions last weekend for the north coast with some great photos coming from Andy @ Troggs. This weekend is showing small to flat conditions for all spots this weekend with no winds or waves but good weather.

East Coast

Things are looking very flat on the east coast with good weather and light winds all weekend.

South Coast

It’s flat for Tramore for the weekend also with no incoming swell but light winds and good SUP conditions.

South West

It is also flat for Garretstown for the weekend with little to no swell for the weekend. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking to start off small with a northerly swell which will struggle to get into Inch. It could start off small with 1-2ft and build throughout the day with 3-4ft by late afternoon as the period increases to 14 seconds which will help that swell bend in around the Dingle peninsula with winds blowing light northerly. There might be some better conditions to be had on the north side of the peninsula with a range of sizes to suit all surfers from smaller around at Fermoyle to much larger around by Jamie Knox’s where the swell will easily get in to. Sunday sees more of the same as Saturday afternoon so pick your spot and enjoy as the winds are light breezes.

West Coast

Lahinch ended up small to flat last weekend with very little swell getting through. This weekend looks like it will be a different story as the swell is coming from the north which would normally drop it a good bit but there is a good 13 second period so it should be 2-4ft with a good push from that period, not as big as forecast but the winds should be best in the morning. The swell looks to build all day so keep an eye on it but that north should kill most of the size off. The winds turn light onshore but the afternoon. Sunday sees the Saturday evening swell run through into Sunday with similar 3-4ft conditions with light breezes all day. Tides are high at 5am and pm Saturday and 6am and pm on Sunday so leave at least 2 hours either side for safe access and exit.

North West

That north west swell could max out a few spots along the north west coast with chunky 5-8ft conditions for Strandhill with some powerful sets in between with that 13 second period and light breezes for both Saturday and Sunday. Spots like Enniscrone could kill off some of that swell but I would still expect 4-6ft conditions with light offshore winds for the both days. In the Bundoran area this will be on the borderline for Tullan with 6ft plus sets coming through in by the cliff with slightly smaller down the beach on Saturday but a much better shout would be Rossnowlagh where there should be some good 3-4ft conditions all weekend with light breezes on offer. Might not be big enough for Streedagh but Rossy should be a good shout for the weekend.

North Coast

Some really nice conditions forecast for Portrush for the weekend with 4ft @ 12 seconds due to East Strand and Whiterocks which could bring 4-6ft conditions for the weekend with light to moderate offshores Saturday and just light breezes Sunday. Be mindful the NW200 motorcycle race is on for the weekend around the Port so access may be restricted to East Strand Car park but worth a check. West Strand Car Park is out of action altogether but Whiterocks should be free from any of the issues.

East Coast

Conditions are looking small to flat for the weekend along the east coast with no swell forecast but good sunny conditions for a SUP session with Hugh in Brittas Bay Surf School.

South Coast

Surf on the south coast does not look like it will get above 1ft for the weekend with small 1ft swell forecast with only 7/8/9 second periods which is not going to produce enough for surfing. Check with Surf Sup Tramore for SUP tours as the weather and winds should be perfect.

South West

It is small conditions for Garretstown with flat conditions Saturday followed by 1ft Sunday and possibly just over 1ft on Monday with light breezes all weekend so winds will play very little in the waves. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking like the swell will be small and barely enough to encourage a wave to break so 2ft conditions max but most likely smaller Saturday and only 1ft for Sunday and Monday. Saturday and Sunday have moderate winds but these are coming across the land so may be lighter but Monday looks to have light winds from the south.

West Coast

Lahinch has had some cracking conditions throughout the week with nice conditions today (Friday) but this looks to come to an end today and it drops back t 2ft max tomorrow with light offshore winds in the morning turning cross shore later in the day. Sunday drops back further to 2ft @10 second but this will struggle to produce waves greater than 1ft for Lahinch with offshore winds all day and Monday will only have 1-2ft at best with light breezes less than 5mph. Probably good conditions for lessons over the weekend but nothing really for improvers unless you’re keen to get out on the foamies. Tides are high at 10am Saturday, 11am Sunday and 12 Monday but the tides are quite small high tides so allow 1.5-2 hours either side for safe access and exit.

North West

Strandhill has also had some great waves all week but this starts to drop over the weekend with Saturday showing 3ft conditions with winds blowing from the north making for cooler bumpy waves with the winds lightest in the morning before it picks up to 15mph+ by evening. Sunday sees the period drop and the swell go more northerly with lighter winds but this will mean that the swell will back off to 2ft at best with light cross shore winds before Monday drops back further to only have 1ft conditions with barely a breath of wind. In the Bundoran area it’s a Tullan Strand weekend with very little coming through for Rossnowlagh or Streedagh with both flat. Best chance for waves in Bundoran will be Tullan on Saturday morning when the conditions could hit 2-3ft with light winds before they pick up to blow more cross shore. Sunday starts off with light breezes and 2ft waves at Tullan before the swell drops back to 1ft which will only suit foamies from then on for Sunday and Monday but the winds drop right back on Monday to just breezes blowing.

North Coast

It looks like there are waves for Portrush on Saturday but the winds are direct onshore which will make for messy conditions with the winds look to be blowing up to 20mph onshore offering no shelter but the waves could be up to 3ft blown over. Sunday shows 2ft conditions with lighter onshore winds up to 10-15mph. Monday drops back further and will only have 0-1ft conditions with lighter breezes but this will offer nothing for improvers.

East Coast

Friday on the East Coast is looking moderate to strong onshore winds bringing 2ft blown over waves. Similar conditions remain for Saturday when the winds turn direct onshore up to 30mph with small period waves blown onshore with 2ft waves blown over. Sunday sees the winds back off a little but this also backs the wind swell off to flat and similar for Monday with 1ft conditions and onshore waves.

South Coast

Tramore is looking like the winds are going to be onshore from the south east for most of the weekend making it messy conditions with Friday showing 3-4ft waves blown over with the winds gusting up to 30mph from the south east. Saturday has 2ft waves with a 7 second period with the winds blowing 11-20mph from the east south east with a small window in the morning where it might be a little offshore. Sunday has light winds first thing but the swells have dropped off with the waves struggling to get over 1ft with a 6 second poor period and medium onshore winds with Monday starting light offshore in the 1ft range building to 2ft later in the morning with light cross shore winds from the east which looks to be the best option over the weekend.

South West

It looks like onshore conditions for Garretstown over the weekend also with 2ft weak period waves on Friday with moderate onshore winds all day with Saturday showing light offshores for most of the day with a nice 8-10mph offshore wind with 2ft waves from a 12 second period. Sunday sees it drop back slightly to 1-2ft with light onshore breezes from the south east. Monday looks to start small but very quickly build to a cracking 4ft wave with cross offshore winds from the north west. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking small to flat for Friday with a small wave coming through on Saturday thanks to the swell angle with the good period which could bring 2-3ft conditions but the winds may pose a problem as they are blowing from the north north east and gusting from 15-25mph variable throughout the day but this may be the only shout as the waves on the north side of the peninsula will all be blown onshore messy. Sunday sees the winds turn southerly and very light in the morning which could bring 1-2ft conditions for Inch with the swell dropping throughout the day and the winds picking up before Monday turns onshore up to 15mph with the waves maxing out the bay so shelter should be sought from the winds.

West Coast

Lahinch is looking small to flat for Friday as the swell is small with a northerly swell which will struggle to come through with moderate to strong offshore winds. Saturday sees the waves jump up but only to 2ft with the odd bigger set coming through on the bigger 13 second period with light offshores winds all day dropping to barely a breeze by evening. Sunday looks to continue with the 2ft waves but with an 11 second period with the winds lightest first thing in the morning but building up to 25mph by Sunday evening and blowing cross offshore from the south east but definitely best in the morning with Monday jumping significantly to 5-6ft with no winds in the morning and building to 8ft plus by lunch time so only for the experienced with the winds light offshore until lunchtime before turning light onshore by afternoon. Tides are high at the following times: Friday 9am and pm, Saturday 10am and pm, Sunday 11am and Monday at midday so allow 2 hours either side for safe entry and exit.

North West

Strandhill is looking small to flat for Friday with the swell not really kicking in until the evening time when a northerly swell which east swell coming off the back of the strong north east winds blows around. This will still only bring 1-2ft waves for Strandhill but with cross shore messy waves. Saturday sees it organise itself a little better with 2ft waves coming from a 9 second period but with good north east direction and light offshore winds. Sunday sees more south in that swell which means it will struggle to get into Strandhill so expect 1ft at best with light offshore winds all day and similar for Monday with more gusts to the winds. In the Bundoran area it is showing 1ft for Friday with moderate to strong offshore winds all day meaning weak waves that you will struggle to catch or hold your board in before Saturday comes and brings 1-2ft waves with light winds gusting to 15mph offshore. Sunday does not get much bigger with 1-2ft again all day but this time with no winds in the morning picking up later. Monday jumps to 3-4ft waves at Tullan with the winds Turing southerly a staying moderate in strength all day turning cross onshore later.

North Coast

In the Port this weekend it is showing the winds and swell blowing from the north east making for messy conditions for East and Whiterocks but no secondary swell getting into West Strand to allow for some offshore conditions. Saturday continues with east swell and wind blowing moderate to strong from the east with only a small 1ft wave at West Strand. Sunday drops to flat with southerly winds making for offshore conditions but a lack of waves with Monday delivering more of the same flat and offshore conditions.

East Coast

Conditions on the East Coast are looking very small for this weekend with only flat SUP conditions available with moderate southerly winds Saturday and light southerly winds Sunday.

South Coast

Tramore is looking small for the weekend with small to flat conditions that will struggle to bring much by way of waves for lessons or beginners. Winds are light onshore breezes for the weekend.

South West

Garretstown is looking like it won’t get much more than 1ft for Saturday with light onshore breezes with Sunday bringing slightly better at 2ft with light to moderate onshore winds for most of the day until later on it could push into the 2-3ft as a bigger period swell comes through. Inch Beach in Kerry is showing a swell with a good bit of north in it which could bring 2-3ft conditions with light to moderate onshore winds up to 15mph. Sunday sees this lift a little to bring 3-4ft waves but the winds pick up to have 20+mph winds blowing onshore which will make for messy conditions in Inch.

West Coast

Lahinch starts off really nicely on Saturday morning with 2-3ft conditions that are coming off the back of a bigger northern swell which always struggles to get into the bay and the winds are light breezes offshore in the morning before it turns onshore around midday and then stays onshore for the remainder of Saturday and Sunday with the waves appearing to build to 3-4ft but the onshore winds may blow the backs of the waves over making it appear smaller but it will have a good push with the 13 second solid period. Sunday has a bigger 4-5ft waves but the coming threw off the back of an over 8ft swell but with a touch of north in it. Winds are direct onshore for the day but will probably still have a wave for those keen for a wave. Tides are high at 6pm Saturday and closer to 7 Sunday which means you need to be out of the water at 4pm Saturday and closer to 5pm Sunday. The Irish Surfing Juniors Competition is on this weekend so be mindful that the best peaks will probably be reserved for the comp.

North West

Strandhill looks to start off really nicely too with light offshore winds first thing Saturday morning gradually turning onshore by the afternoon with waves in the 3-4ft in the morning building to 4-5ft later on as the winds turn onshore. Sunday in Strandhill sees a good solid swell that will push the size up in Strandhill at 6ft plus with a solid 12 second period. Winds are moderate cross onshore but could be offshore for the likes of Enniscrone which should have a 3-4ft waves but be mindful of the offshore winds. In the Bundoran area it will start small at Tullan but build quickly with light offshores first thing turning onshore by the afternoon with 2-3ft quickly becoming 3-4ft and then biggest before it goes onshore. Sunday has cross onshore for Tullan but Rossnowlagh can handle the slight onshore winds at 12-15mph with waves in the 3-4ft range. Streedagh could have a small 2ft wave with the 12 second period allowing for a small wave to get in and be cross shore.

North Coast

There is a good period showing for Saturday morning in Portrush with a good solid 17 second swell first thing dropping to 13 seconds later on with 2ft conditions for the most part but bigger sets coming through on the bigger period so might be worth waiting around for the larger sets with light offshores all day until evening. Sunday sees some really nice conditions for East Strand with cross offshore winds of 12-15mph which could clean up the faces a little with 3-4ft waves.

East Coast

Winds are blowing from the north east this weekend for the east coast which could bring 1-2ft weak onshore wind swell. This will be weak 6 second period waves which will really only suit kids or lessons. Sunday sees the winds back off with no waves and light variable winds less than 10pm so could be ok for some SUPing.

South Coast

Tramore is looking small to flat for the weekend with the conditions barely breaking overact with moderate cross offshore winds from the East North East. Sunday is showing 1-2ft conditions with winds blowing cross shore from the east which will make for bumpy conditions.

South West

Garretstown is looking small for Saturday as the main swell is coming from the south with the winds are blowing moderate to strong from the north east which is offshore for Garretstown but just a little too strong. Sunday has a good 11 second period swell coming through which should bring 2ft waves with the winds blowing cross offshore from the east up to 20mph. Inch Beach in Kerry is looking marginal with barely enough swell to get a wave going with 1ft at best and moderate offshore winds. Sunday in Inch has a swell with a touch of north in it which could bring 1-2ft with cross offshore winds from the south east.

West Coast

Lahinch this weekend is looking small to flat for Saturday with offshore winds all day leaving not much in the way for improvers. If you are keen then you might catch something on a longboard or Foamie with good arms. The tide is high at 11.30so 2 hours either side. Sunday sees the swell jump a little but with a touch of north in it which will drop out the increase in swell size and probably have 1-2ft conditions for most of the day with offshore winds all day. High tide is not until nearer 1 so if you can get a session in the morning before 11 then the period is 13 seconds which may have more of the 2ft waves than 1ft with a small drop after the high tide after 3pm only having 1-2ft waves.

North West

Strandhill is looking like it will also only get 1-2ft on Saturday with light to moderate offshore winds. Sunday sees a bit of a bump with the winds staying offshore and the waves in the 2-3ft range and best in the morning when the period is 13 seconds but this drops to 12 later on and the swell drops a small bit too. In the Bundoran area, it is going to be a Tullan Strand weekend with 1-2ft waves on Saturday all day with moderate offshore winds followed by 2-3ft waves for Tullan on Sunday with moderate offshore winds all day until evening.

North Coast

The primary swell for Portrush at the weekend is coming from the north east off the back of the easterly winds blowing up to 20mph. This won’t bring any waves to West Strand where the winds would be nice and offshore and will only bring cross shores to East or Whiterocks with 1-2ft waves at best. Sunday drops a little on the easterly swell as the winds back off and a small 1ft swell from the north could bring 1-2ft waves for East Strand but the winds are still going to be cross shore and a little bumpy.

East Coast

Conditions for Saturday on the east coast show a small wave coming up the channel from the pushing southerly winds which should see 1ft waves on Saturday building to 1-2ft by the evening but this is driven by those southerly winds which look to hit up to 30th on the gusts. Sunday looks to have flat conditions with light breezes only.

South Coast

Tramore is showing conditions that are looking onshore and mushy for Saturday with 1-2ft waves owing to the poor 5 second period with winds blowing direct onshore all day. Sunday sees the winds drop but the waves are still only coming in at 6 seconds meaning 1ft waves with 2ft at best.

South West

Saturday sees onshore conditions for Garretstown with a decent 16 second period on a secondary swell but it is tiny and the main swell is only running at 5 seconds so 2ft conditions at best with onshore winds all day Saturday up to 25mph. Sunday has much better conditions with 2-3ft waves with a good 10 second period and only light breezes less than 10mph. Inch Beach in Kerry looks to have nice 4-5ft waves but the winds on Saturday are going to mess with those conditions as the winds are direct onshore meaning it will probably be smaller with the waves blown over. Sunday sees the swell continue with 5-6ft conditions with winds coming cross onshore making for messy conditions but still surfable for those keen.

West Coast

Saturday morning is looking like it could have some moderate southerly winds that will blow cross offshore for Lahinch but this swings more westerly around midday so get on it early with 4ft conditions early on dropping to 3-4ft later on. Sunday sees the winds go lighter but they remain onshore making for 2ft conditions as the swell is coming from the north which while it is bigger will struggle to get into Lahinch. Tides are high on Saturday at 5pm with nearly a 5m high so out of the water by 2.30 and then Sunday’s high is at nearly 7pm with the addition of the hour from the clocks changing so out of the water by 4.30.

North West

Strandhill is looking to get a good 12 second period pulse all day on Saturday meaning that it will probably max out the bay but spots like Streedagh could have some nice conditions as the winds are blowing from the south. The winds are a little gusty with the gusts blowing up to 35mph but mostly offshore for that south end of Streedagh beach. Sunday looks to be a good shout for the likes of Streedagh or Rossnowlagh as the winds are onshore but light but still too big for Strandhill and the surrounding spots with the wind direction just too westerly but there could be waves in Enniscrone for those keen on Saturday or Sunday. Tullan Strand will be maxed out for both Saturday and Sunday with just too much water moving around.

North Coast

The southerly winds could have some nice offshore conditions for East Strand and Whiterocks but the swell is a little on the chunky side which could bring 6ft plus conditions in the morning dropping back a little later on as the day goes on. The winds do look to blow quite hard up to 30mph plus but this could be lighter with the land drag. Sunday sees the swell start bigger again and drop but only slightly, so starting off at 6ft plus but staying around the 4-6ft range then for the day but the main issue on Sunday is the winds blowing from the north west which will only see a small bit of shelter at East Strand for those keen but the onshore winds will also make the wave more bumpy and crumbly.

East Coast

Waves on the east coast are looking like they won’t get much above 1ft for the weekend with a 1-2ft forecast meaning only waves for kids or lessons on both Saturday and Sunday.

South Coast

On Saturday in Tramore waves are showing in the 2-4ft range with the possibility of bigger sets earlier in the day when the periods are bigger. Winds are offshore for the day meaning clean waves but the gusts look to pick up quite strong which could be a challenge for longboards or bigger boards. Sunday sees the winds stay offshore all day but the winds could be blowing that swell out to sea as the swell drops to 1ft meaning waves will be smaller again.

South West

Garretstown looks like it starts on Saturday that could see 3-4ft conditions first thing with a good 12 second period dropping down a little throughout the day to 2-3ft waves later in the day. Winds are moderate to strong offshore for the day on Saturday and Sunday. The waves on Sunday drop right back to 1-2ft max. Inch Beach in Kerry is maxed out for Saturday and Sunday sees 4-6ft conditions from a swell bending in from the north west and the winds are blowing moderate to strong from the north meaning messy conditions. The winds mean that conditions could be messy on the north side of the peninsula also.

West Coast

Conditions in Lahinch are also coming off the north west swell which could mean that the conditions will be a lot smaller than forecast as they have to bend into Lahinch where there is a lot of shelter from the north. The Forecast shows 8-12ft but realistically this could be more like 3-4ft with a good 14 second period meaning bigger sets in between. This drops later in the day and could see it get smaller. Winds are from the north which means cold cross shore conditions up to 20mph so bumpy waves at best. Sunday sees the swell nearly halve in size from the Saturday meaning 1-3ft but probably more of the smaller conditions with the cold winds still blowing moderate from the north. Tides are high at 10.30 on Saturday and closer to 12 Sunday but the tides are small meaning only an hour of the water either side for safe access and exit.

North West

Strandhill will be maxed out Saturday with the swell meaning only Aughris might have a wave but the bad news is that nowhere has shelter from a northerly wind meaning messy onshore conditions for the northwest. Streedagh would have a 3-4ft wave but the northerly winds are not going to make for nice conditions anywhere. Sunday sees the swell drop back to more manageable conditions but the winds never let up meaning cold messy conditions. Rossnowlagh is the only spot that can handle a little north in the winds but this will still be big and messy 4-5ft Saturday with cross onshore conditions and Sunday sees it more small 2-3ft and messy with the cross shore conditions.

North Coast

The northwest winds forecast for late morning in East Strand and Whiterocks mean messy conditions for both spots with waves blown onshore 4-5ft Saturday with Sunday seeing the winds totally mess up the swell with only 7 second winds swell bringing 2-3ft blown over conditions to all spots. There might be some chance of shelter behind the south pier near babushka on West Strand offering something out of the winds but probably only waves Saturday.
