Table - best surf conditions forecast for Annascaul Rivermouth over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this is one of those outlooks where we’re just gonna have to wait it out. The next 16 days, from July 9th all the way through July 24th, are looking like a flat spell for Annascaul Rivermouth. There’s just nothing on offer that’s worth paddling out for.
The first few days give us a tease but no real payoff. On Thursday morning, July 9th, there's some waist-high swell around 5 ft from the west, and it’s glassy, but the wave energy is weak (326) and the conditions are just ordinary. By afternoon, the wind swings cross-shore and the surf turns to junk. After that, it’s a long, long grind. From Friday, July 10th, right through to the end of the month, the swell drops to almost nothing – we’re talking ankle-snappers and dribblers, most of the time under 2 ft.
There are a few moments where the wind is offshore and clean, like on the morning of July 14th when we get a bit of 2 ft swell from the west with a 10-second period, and the energy is moderate (153). But the waves are still too small and weak to get excited about. The combined energy readings are mostly in the double digits or low triple digits, which just confirms it – there’s no stoke in the water.
The water is about average for this time of year, so no weird temps to talk about. The crowds here are sometimes an issue, but with no surf, it’ll be empty.
Honestly, this is a blank run. For a spot that’s usually very consistent, it’s a bummer, but it happens. Keep your eye on the charts – things can change quick. Until then, save your wax.
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.
