Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got coming up for Annascaul Rivermouth. This stretch is a sheltered spot, so it takes a bit of a specific angle to get going, and right now, we're in for a long wait.
The next few days are pretty grim. From Saturday the 4th right through to the end of the first week, the conditions are just poor. We're looking at a mix of onshore and cross-onshore winds, with a messy, lumpy sea state. The combined wave energy sits between 213 and 587, which is moderate, but it's wind-swell junk, not the clean lines we want. The wind is just ruining everything. This stretch of flat, blown-out conditions lasts for about a week.
The real action doesn't fire until we get into the second week. The standout period is Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th. The wind finally cleans up, swinging cross-offshore and even going glassy.
On Monday the 13th, we get a proper 5ft groundswell out of the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 463, and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze. That is going to be clean, punchy, and have a bit of power. The Rivermouth will be working, but with a 10-second period on a river mouth, it won't be too straight; it should hold some shape. Expect crowds on this one, as it's *sometimes* busy here when it's good.
Tuesday the 14th stays solid, with 5ft of west swell and glassy conditions in the morning. That's the bigger day size-wise, but the wind shifts a bit cross-shore in the afternoon. If you can get the morning glass-off, that's your best bet. Anything over 5ft like this is getting a bit much for beginners, but for the rest of you, it's game on.
After that Tuesday, the swell fades fast. It drops off into the 1ft to 2ft range with poor winds again, so that's your window. Get on it.
Rusty.

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. Our Annascaul Rivermouth surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Annascaul Rivermouth) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
