Rusty here again, running through the same forecast in feet and miles. This is a tough one to call. We’re looking at a massive dry spell with hardly any surfable waves at Maghermore from now all the way through to Friday, July 11th. That’s over a week of nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is flat, the wind is all over the place, and the energy is zilch. For an area that can be inconsistent, this is just one of those stretches you have to sit through.
The first glimmer of something happens on Saturday, July 12th. We get a tiny 2ft swell from the NE with a short 4-second period, and a weak energy reading of 13. On Saturday afternoon it’s the same 2ft NE swell with 14 energy, but a cross-onshore wind chops it up. Still poor. Sunday afternoon, July 13th, brings a 0.3ft south swell with a very long 16-second period but only 6 energy. That’s a groundswell with no push.
If you’re holding out for the only shot, it’s Friday, July 18th. Friday morning shows a 4ft swell from the N with a 5-second period and moderate energy of 58. The cross-shore wind will make it lumpy. Friday afternoon improves with a 4ft swell from the NNE, also 5 seconds, and a moderate 82 energy. The wind goes cross-offshore, which will clean the faces up nicely. For a beginner break, 4ft is getting a bit chunky, but a solid beginner with some experience could manage it. The swell direction isn't ideal, but the offshore wind is a huge plus. It’s the only real window, but it’s over a week out, so keep your expectations in check.
Saturday, July 19th looks like it’ll be blown out again, so don't plan your week around it.
This is Rusty, out.

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.
