Table - best surf conditions forecast for Maghermore over the next 16 days.
Yo, it’s Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – this outlook for the next 16 days at Maghermore is a tough one. There’s no real surf on offer at all. The whole stretch from now through to the end of the window is just flat or tiny, messy, and blown out. The first record shows Thursday morning, the 9th, with zero rideable swell, and it just doesn’t get any better. We’re looking at a solid blank run with hardly any days offering even a hint of a wave.
The strongest combined energy we see is a modest 72 (moderate wave energy) on Monday the 13th afternoon, but that’s a 4 ft NE windswell with a short period of 5 seconds, and windy cross-onshore conditions. It’s choppy, lumpy, and not worth a paddle. The water temp is about average for July, so no drama there.
Honestly, with the swell this small, the wind just ruining everything, and the break being a fairly exposed beach setup, it’s more of a kite session than a surf session on the few days with any bump. The one slight glimmer is on Thursday the 23rd afternoon – glassy conditions, but with a tiny 0.3 ft, 14-second south groundswell. That’s clean, sure, but there’s no energy to ride. Nothing to recommend here.
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.
