Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, the Easky Right in Ireland is the place we’re talking about for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a mixed bag. The water temp is running about average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.

We’ve got a fair bit of size coming, so this reef setup is going to see some juice, but the wind is going to be the story. Tuesday the 15th is a write-off – onshore cross-breeze at 19 mph with a lumpy 7 ft to 8 ft W swell, and the wave energy is pumping at 1148, but man, it’s messy. Not your friend.

Wednesday the 16th, we’ve got an 8 ft WNW swell in the morning, cross-shore wind at 12 mph, energy at 1423, but it’s still cross-chop. By the afternoon the wind swings SW and goes cross-offshore at 19 mph, cleaning it up a little with a 7 ft swell, energy dropping to 875 – it’s rideable but not a standout.

Thursday the 17th gets big and ugly – 13 ft to 18 ft WNW swells, strong cross-winds at 25 mph, and the energy hits 10626 on Thursday afternoon. That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s messy and heavy – experts only, and even then, it’s not looking clean.

Friday the 18th is where things start to click. Morning has a 13 ft WNW swell with a cross-offshore SW breeze at 16 mph, energy at 4829, and it’s clean. Then Friday afternoon? That’s the first real gem. A 10 ft WNW swell, period stretching to 12 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind out of the SSW at 16 mph. Energy at 2767, and the surf is excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a window.

Saturday the 19th is a step back – 8 ft to 8 ft WNW swells, cross-shore wind, energy under 1200. Not terrible, but not calling you out of bed.

Sunday the 20th is the standout of the entire outlook. Morning session: a solid 10 ft WNW swell, 12-second period, and a clean offshore wind out of the SSE at 12 mph. Combined energy is strong at 3126. This is excellent for experienced surfers – the reef will be working, and the wind is gonna make it glassy. This is the one to circle.

Monday the 21st holds promise – 8 ft WNW swell in the morning, 11-second period, offshore SSE wind at 12 mph, energy at 1291. Another clean, excellent session for the more experienced crew.

After that, we’ve got a bit of a lull. Tuesday the 22nd is small (6 ft), and Wednesday the 23rd brings a big pulse again – 12 ft WNW swell, 13-second period, with a light cross-offshore SE breeze at 9 mph. Energy is 4404, and it’s excellent for experts again.

Thursday the 24th is dropping, but still a clean 7 ft morning with offshore S wind. Then Friday the 25th has a nice 8 ft W swell, 12-second period, with gentle offshore S wind – clean, excellent, and a solid finisher.

Saturday the 26th is tiny – 4 ft, glassy, but barely pushing. After that, the swell really fades out through the end of September and into the start of October, with small, weak swells and onshore winds. The last decent look is the 30th of September with a 5 ft WNW swell and clean conditions, but it’s low energy.

So, to keep it simple: Sunday the 20th of September morning and Friday the 18th of September afternoon are your two best shots. Bigger swells, good winds, and the reef will be on. Crowds are often a thing at Easky Right, so expect company when it’s good. The later week of September has a few other good days, but those two are the standouts.
