The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty grim picture for Maghermore. We're looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of. The first session that's even worth mentioning doesn't show up until Monday afternoon, the 27th of July.
That Monday brings a tiny pulse of swell, a 2ft southerly swell with a 4-second period, but the energy is weak (9). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but the waves are just too small and gutless to get excited about. It's a beginner-level wave at best, and the break is inconsistent, so don't plan your day around it.
The next little bump comes on Tuesday the 28th, with a 3ft southerly swell, but the period is still short at 4 seconds. The energy is a bit higher (33), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, creating lumpy cross-chop. It's going to be a bumpy, messy ride.
We get a hint of something on the 1st of August, with a 3ft southerly swell. The energy is still low (38), and while the wind is cross-offshore, it's a fresh breeze, so it won't be glassy. The break is inconsistent, so it's a gamble.
The best-looking window in this whole forecast is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. We've got a 2ft south swell with a 7-second period, and the wind is glassy – a slight air from the southwest. The energy is low (25) and the waves are tiny, but for a beginner on an inconsistent break, that's as clean as it's going to get. After that, it's back to tiny, weak waves or nothing at all.
The afternoon of Thursday the 6th of August shows a 4ft swell from the north-northeast, but it's a messy cross-shore wind and the energy is still moderate (83). The waves are going to be a jumbled mess.
For the rest of the 16 days, it's a whole lot of nothing. The 8th of August has a morning of offshore wind, but no swell to speak of. Honest, for a break that's inconsistent, this is a normal kind of blank run. The setup is so small and weak that it might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
