Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right off the bat, the surf window is looking pretty ordinary for the next week and a half. There’s a bit of a lull heading into the middle of August, and nothing really gets going until we’re past the 18th. The first few days are mostly small, short-period leftovers with a lot of lumpy, cross-onshore wind, so I wouldn’t be rushing out. The water is running a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 61°F, which is a nice little bonus when you’re sitting in the lineup.

Now, the first real glimmer of something decent shows up on the morning of the 13th. Thursday morning has a clean, gentle offshore breeze from the SSE with waves around 4ft at 10 seconds from the west. It’s not big, but it’ll be clean and the reef at Easky Right (West Ireland) can make the most of that. The combined energy is only moderate at 252, so it’s not a day for heroics, but it beats the chop we’ve been dealing with. The afternoon looks like it might hold up, but that storm risk is a bit of a wildcard.

The next real standout is the 19th. Wednesday morning brings a jump in size to 8ft from the WNW with a moderate cross-offshore wind from the WSW. The energy jumps to 663, which is a solid, powerful pulse. This is a proper reef wave, and that kind of swell with clean conditions is going to be firing. It’s pushing into expert territory at that size, though. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a little short-period, but on a reef that can still line up nicely. This is the one to circle.

The swell keeps building into the 20th, with waves hitting 10ft from the WNW and the energy cranking up to 1429. That’s a serious amount of water, but the wind is onshore and moderate, which is going to mess it up. It’s big and messy, and honestly, that sets up looks more interesting for the kite crowd than for paddle surfing. Only for the experienced, and even then, it’s not going to be pretty.

After that, the size drops back a bit, but the 22nd morning has a nice little window. Saturday the 22nd sees 5ft from the north with a light offshore from the SSE and clean conditions. Energy is moderate at 266. It’s a fun, friendly size for the reef, and with the light wind, it could be a good one before it fades out entirely by the 23rd.

So, if you’re looking for the best of it, keep your eyes on the 19th morning. That’s the standout. The 13th is the pick if you want something clean but smaller. The rest is a waiting game.
