The Lowdown
Alright, let's keep it real about Annascaul Rivermouth. For the first stretch, from Tuesday the 14th through to Saturday the 25th of July, it's pretty dead. The swell is tiny, mostly between 0.7 feet and 2 feet from the west or southwest, and the energy is weak – readings are between 7 and 155 (combined swell energy). A few clean moments pop up, like Thursday the 16th with glassy wind, but with wave heights that small, it's not going to get you excited.
Then on Sunday the 26th, the ocean wakes up. We’re looking at 8 feet from the west in the morning, jumping to a solid 10 feet by the afternoon. The energy gets serious too, hitting 1128 and then 1832. But the wind is cross-onshore at 19 mph, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. For this sheltered river-mouth, that size with that wind makes it feel more like a kite-surfing day than one for a surfboard.
Monday the 27th keeps that 10-foot swell from the WNW, but again the wind is cross-onshore and the waves are choppy. The energy is massive, over 2000, but the quality is poor. Later on the 29th, it drops to 7 feet from the WSW, but the wind remains lumpy.
Honestly, there’s no real standout session here. Annascaul Rivermouth is a consistent spot, so the forecasts can shift, but for this two-week run, the conditions aren't in our favor. Best to wait for a cleaner day.

Information about the Annascaul Rivermouth Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Annascaul Rivermouth provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Annascaul Rivermouth can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Annascaul Rivermouth may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
