The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you, the next 16 days at Maghermore are a total bust for surf. If you’re hoping for anything rideable, you’re out of luck. It’s flat, weak, and uninviting.
Starting on Sunday, August 2nd, there is literally no swell. Glassy conditions, but it’s a total mirror – no waves. On Monday the 3rd, a tiny 2ft swell from the NE pushes in with a short 5-second period, and the wave energy is just 16 – that’s barely a bump. Onshore wind makes it messy.
Tuesday the 4th sees the swell bump to 3ft from the SSE, but the period is a dismal 4 seconds, and the energy is only 34. With a fresh cross-shore wind, it’s lumpy and chopped up. Not worth getting wet.
The rest of the month is a desert. Tiny pulses from the south, most with periods under 8 seconds or long-period ghosts that never show up. For example, on Friday the 7th, it’s glassy in the morning but there’s zero swell. The energy readings are mostly low double digits or single digits – that’s weak, pathetic surf.
There’s a slight flicker around Saturday the 15th of August: a 2ft NE swell with a 4-second period and energy of just 14. The wind is clean but the swell is too small and weak to ride properly. It’s inconsistent and barely a ripple.
Bottom line: there are no good days here. No standouts, no windows. This break is inconsistent, and this stretch shows it. Don’t waste your time. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.

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