Alright mates, Rusty here. Got to be honest – the next fortnight is a real struggle. No point sugar-coating it.
The entire 16-day stretch is a long, flat road. For the first 11 days, from now until the 22nd of July, there's literally nothing doing. The swell is tiny, and most of the time there's a cross-off breeze that's just ruining any chance of a decent line. Sure, it might look clean in the mornings, but with swell barely a foot and a half, you're just bobbing around. The wave energy is weak, typically well under 100, so it's a total write-off.
The Only Blip on the Radar
The one and only chance – and I mean the only one – is Doolin Point on the morning of Wednesday, the 24th of July. A massive pulse is forecast to roll in, with a solid 10-foot swell from the West. The wind looks light and cross-on from the SW, so it might clean up a bit. However, the wave energy is off the charts at 1331 (very strong), and at that size, this exposed reef is strictly for the expert crew. It's going to be way too big for most people, and with that kind of power, it's a serious commitment. That's the one and only window where things might get interesting.
So, for the next 11 days, save your petrol. Keep an eye on that big swell on the 24th, but don't even think about it unless you're a seasoned pro on the reef.
Rusty.

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.
