Easky Right Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, boys and girls, Rusty here with a look at what’s coming our way for the Sligo coast.

This forecast is all about timing. We’ve got a solid run of surf, but it’s not all good news; there are a few rough days to sit out. Easky Right is the only break on the menu here, so we’ll be riding that wave.

We’ll kick things off on Friday, July 3rd, but it’s a mixed bag. The morning is your best bet early on. We’re looking at a clean 4ft wave from the west, running off a nice 10-second groundswell. The wind is light and offshore from the SSE, so expect some quality lines. The water is sitting at 60°, which feels a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – a nice bonus. The combined energy is moderate at 412, so there’s some push behind it.

Later on Friday and all through Saturday, it gets messy. A fresh breeze from the WSW kicks in, and the swell jumps to 5-8ft, but it’s crossed up and choppy. The wave quality drops right off, and honestly, it’s just not worth it unless you’re really desperate for a beatdown. Sunday through the middle of the following week looks pretty grim, with poor surf conditions and moderate cross-shore winds. The swell stays around 5-6ft, but it’s weak and unstructured. Best to save your energy.

Wednesday, July 8th is where it gets interesting again. The morning session is a standout. We’re looking at glassy conditions with the wind dropping off to nothing. The swell is a clean 4ft from the west with a 9-second period. This is a classic Easky day – the reef will be peeling nicely, and with no wind, it’ll be a dream. Crowds are *often* here anyway, but on a glassy morning like this, you can expect company. It’s not too big, so it’s manageable for most, but the quality will be high.

Thursday, July 9th morning is another keeper. Light offshore from the south, a steady 4ft west swell with a longer 10-second period – clean, consistent, and perfect for a longboard or a funboard.

Friday, July 10th also starts off glassy with a 4ft west swell. The 11-second period adds some real grunt and shape to the waves. The reef at Easky will handle that nicely, giving you some proper groundswell lines. A real gem for the morning.

Now, after that, we go through another flat patch. Monday, July 13th morning starts to wake up again with a 4ft west swell from a long 12-second period, and it’s clean. But the real highlight of the whole forecast is Monday, July 13th afternoon. That’s when we hit a 5ft west swell with an 11-second period. The wind is light and cross-off from the SE. The energy is strong at 670. This is going to be the pick of the fortnight – solid, clean, and powerful. If you can get out for that session, do it.

Tuesday, July 14th stays good with clean 5-5ft west swells through the day. Light wind, clean lines – a solid follow-up to Monday.

After that, the swell fades out rapidly into tiny, weak surf from Wednesday the 15th onwards, dropping to nothing by the weekend. The last week of the 16-day window is basically flat, with only a few tiny, blown-out ankle-biters showing up.

So, to sum it up: ignore the weekend of the 4th through the 7th. The absolute standouts are the glassy mornings of Wednesday, July 8th and Friday, July 10th, and the absolute champion session is Monday, July 13th afternoon. Get it while it’s good.

Rusty.
