Alright, let’s talk Doolin Point in the units you might know better. This is a reef break, expert only, fairly consistent, and open to the west. Water’s a touch warmer than average, around 61°F.
The whole 16-day stretch is a tough watch. I can’t find a single day I’d recommend. It’s pretty much a blank run.
Starting Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of July – swell around 4 to 4 ft from the west, but with a short period of 8 seconds. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore, so the waves are chopped and messy. Energy is moderate, in the 163-191 range, but the quality is poor.
Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th – swell drops slightly to 3 ft, still west, period of 9 seconds. Gentle cross-onshore breezes keep it ragged and weak.
Friday the 10th – swell gets smaller, 2 to 4 ft, still onshore winds. Energy stays in the 200s, but the surface is messy.
From Saturday the 11th, it gets really small. Swell heights drop to 1 ft or less, and for days on end – from the 11th to about the 15th – we’re looking at waves of 0.3 to 1 ft. The wind is clean and cross-offshore, but there’s simply no swell. The energy drops to as low as 15-61 units.
From the 16th to the 20th, we’re stuck with tiny 0.7 to 1 ft waves, and the wind is picking up, making it lumpy and choppy. Not surfable.
On Monday the 21st of July, we see a puff to 4 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period and energy of 212. But the wind is cross-shore and onshore, so it’ll be a choppy mess.
In short, there are zero good options for Doolin Point in this whole period. It’s a quiet stretch for the area, and sometimes that’s just how it goes. Keep an eye on the forecast, though – it can turn around.

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