Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the local forecast for Carrowmore. I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day outlook is a dry spell, with no real surf to get excited about. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions, so don’t be in a rush to wax up.
The water is sitting at 60°F which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
Starting from Thursday, July 9th, we’ve got a small 2ft swell from the west with a short period of 9 seconds and very weak energy (41). The wind is a cross-off from the southwest at 9 mph, but the surf is just too poor to bother with. This limp pattern continues right through the rest of the week and into the next. Friday and Saturday see even smaller waves, around 1.0ft to 1ft, with onshore or cross-on breezes messing up what little is there.
From Sunday, July 12th, it gets even more pathetic. Waves drop to 0.7ft or less, with energy readings in the single digits. The wind stays cross or cross-on, mostly from the east and then shifting north-northwest, but it doesn’t matter – there’s no power behind anything. The swell period does jump to 14-19 seconds on the 13th and 15th, but with wave heights of just 0.3ft, it’s a ghost swell. No push, no shape.
We run through the entire second week with the same story: tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves, weak energy (mostly under 10), and persistent cross-onshore winds. The wind picks up to 12-16 mph at times, making it choppy and unattractive. There’s a slight uptick on July 21st and 22nd with a 2ft swell from the north and north-northwest, but the period is a pitiful 3 seconds. That’s windswash, not surf.
The last days of the outlook, into July 23rd and 24th, tail off into nothing – 0.3ft waves and barely any energy. She’s flat.
There is no standout session here, not a single one. The best you could hope for is a rare, inconsistent bump that might be rideable for a beginner on a foamie, but the quality is just not there. For the rest of us, it’s a blank run. This is one of those periods where the forecast can change, but right now, it’s a solid no-go. Keep the board in the car and wait for the next system.
Rusty.

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