The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it – we're in a flat spell and it's gonna hang around for a while. For the entire 16-day window, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There's nothing to get excited about here, so let's talk about what's actually happening.
The first chance you'd even think about paddling out is on Saturday the 19th of September, but that's a whole week away and the swell is only 2ft from the south with a short 5-second period. The combined wave energy is just 25, which is weak. Even with a gentle offshore breeze from the WNW keeping it clean, it's not going to be anything memorable. Maghermore is a beginner-friendly spot, but it's inconsistent at the best of times, and this is not one of them. The water temperature is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Before that, from now right through until Friday the 19th, there's barely a ripple. We're talking swell heights from 0.3ft to 1ft, with periods as low as 4 seconds. The wind is offshore or cross-off a lot of the time, but with no swell to work with, it's irrelevant. The combined energy readings are in the single digits or low teens – that's rock bottom. On the 14th, there's a fresh breeze from the SSW at 22 mph, but the swell is gone, so it's not even worth thinking about.
After that brief flicker on the 19th, it drops right back down again. The 20th has a glassy morning with a 1.0ft south swell, but that's not going to get anyone out of bed. The 21st and 22nd are the same story – tiny swell, clean conditions, but nothing to push you into a wave.
Late in the month, around the 24th and 26th of September, we see the swell bump up slightly. On Thursday the 24th, there's a 3ft swell from the north with a 6-second period and combined energy of 45. That's still weak. On Saturday the 26th, we get the same 3ft from the SSE, but with a cross-onshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph, making it choppy. Not worth the paddle.
Honestly, if you're a surfer, you're better off doing something else for a while. The setup here is so small and weak that it might even look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a couple of those breezy afternoons. But for a wave, there's nothing. The breaks here are generally fairly consistent, so this kind of flat run is a bit of a sting, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so don't bin your board just yet.
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.
Maghermore is 18 km (11 miles) from Arklow. If you plan a holiday in Wexford, look for hotels and other accommodation in Arklow. Arklow has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
