The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at the forecast for Annascaul Rivermouth. I’ll be honest with you, the next couple of weeks look pretty grim for this spot. It’s a very consistent wave here, but the conditions are just off most of the time. At the start, the water’s around 63°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Tuesday the 28th kicks off with a lumpy 6ft W swell, but that cross-on SSW wind at 12 mph is just going to chop it up. The combined energy is moderate (433) but the wind kills it. We get a quick drop-off on Wednesday with a 4ft W swell and onshore SW wind, not good.
Thursday the 30th sees the swell die to almost nothing, and we’re looking at flat, tiny surf until the end of the week. It’s a bit of a dead spell. Sunday the 2nd of August shows a bit of life with a 4ft SW swell and 241 combined energy, but again the wind is cross-on and messy. That afternoon jumps to 6ft from SSW and 482 energy, still cross-on.
A couple of days of onshore wind and small swell follow, then we hit a serious spike on Saturday the 8th of August. We’re looking at an 8ft W swell with an 11-second period and a huge 1528 combined energy. That’s a lot of water. But it’s coming with a gentle onshore breeze, and the wave state is unknown. That’s expert territory – too big for most, and the wind isn’t helping. It’s a wildcard. The next day, Sunday the 9th, the swell drops to 6ft WSW with 725 energy, and we finally get a clean look with a cross-off NNW wind at 22 mph. That’s your best chance in the period. Monday the 10th is also clean, with a 7ft W swell (11-second period) and a massive 1148 energy, but the score is low, described as marginal. That’s a powerful groundswell, and at a sheltered rivermouth, it could be a bit straight, but if you’re an expert, it’s the standout.
After that, it fades back to tiny and messy through to the 12th. There’s a long gap of poor to flat days before that Saturday spike. For the most part, the cross-on wind and onshore flow ruin it. If you’re a kite surfer, that Sunday afternoon of the 9th with the 6ft WSW and clean cross-off wind might be more interesting than paddling.
