Table - best surf conditions forecast for Annascaul Rivermouth over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Annascaul Rivermouth. The whole 16-day window is looking like a real battle to get anything decent, with a big flat spell right in the middle. Best to keep the expectations low and look for tiny windows.
The outlook starts Friday the 10th of July with a bit of life, but it's nothing to write home about. We've got a small 3ft swell from the WSW and WNW, with a period around 9-10 seconds. The wind is cross-off from the NNE/NNW, so the conditions are clean, but the wave energy is weak (135-315). It's surfable, but ordinary. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Then we hit a long, flat spell. From Saturday the 11th right through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, it's pretty much game over. The swell drops to tiny 0.3ft to 2ft junk. The energy is very low, often under 100. There's a couple of mornings with clean offshore winds, but there's just no swell to work with. It's a long stretch of poor surf conditions.
Things start to look a bit more interesting on Thursday the 23rd of July. We get a sudden jump in size with a 7ft to 8ft swell from the West, but the period is short at 8-10 seconds. The energy is strong (525-1283). However, the wind is onshore from the SW, which is going to chop it up and make it messy. The setup is a sheltered river mouth, so it might be a bit of a mess. This is more of a kite surfing situation, honestly. The size is in the expert-only zone and the quality is poor.
Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th of July are a write-off again with tiny, wind-affected swell or onshore junk.
Honestly, there's nothing here that qualifies as a standout. The best of a bad bunch is the first day, Friday the 10th of July, but even that is just "ordinary." It's a bleak run for the area. As always, forecasts can change, but right now, I'd leave the board in the car.
Rusty.

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.
