The Lowdown
Alright, let’s keep it real. The surf is flat and moody for the next couple of weeks, so don't get your hopes up.
The only spot we’ve got is Maghermore, and it’s been a hard watch. The water is running about 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's where the good news ends.
Kicking off Monday the 7th of September, it’s all poor. Minimal swell, gnarly cross-off winds, and just a general lack of energy. That rough patch runs through the whole first week. A 1.0m southerly swell tries to show on Thursday afternoon, but with a weak 4-second period and fresh cross-off winds, it’s a blown-out mess. The energy reading is only 36, which is tiny.
Things tease us a bit on Sunday the 13th. A clean, offshore wind from the west sets up in the morning over a 0.5m south swell, but Maghermore is *inconsistent* and it's barely a ripple. The afternoon goes completely glassy, nearly flat, and looks beautiful but gives you nothing to ride.
The second week doesn’t get any easier. A 0.7m swell on Monday the 14th gets hammered by strong cross-off wind. A 0.6m north swell on the 17th never cleans up right.
Bottom line: there are no good days in this whole 16-day run. The break is inconsistent, the swell is weak, and it’s just not shaping up for a paddle. Hang tight and keep an eye on it.

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.
