The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for Maghermore is a tough one. There’s no real start to the surf, and the first recommendation doesn’t roll in until Saturday the 25th of July. That’s a massive gap of almost a week and a half of flat, poor conditions from the 15th right through to the morning of the 25th. It’s a bleak run for this area, but when it’s this quiet, it’s not unusual for Maghermore to go on a bit of a snooze.
Alright, let’s talk about the one window that might offer a paddle. On Saturday morning the 25th of July, we’ve got a lift. A little NNE swell pushes in at 3 ft, with a period of 5 seconds—short period, so it’s gonna be a bit messy and fat, but the combined energy hits 62 (weak), which is the only real pulse in the whole outlook. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore breeze from the SW, keeping things clean. That’s the best you’ll get, but it’s still only surfable in very ordinary conditions, and the score is low. It’s a beginner-friendly size, but with the inconsistency of this break, don’t expect much. The water temperature anomaly is neutral for this time of year, so it’s about average.
After that, the afternoon of the 25th drops off to 3 ft and the energy halves, and from the 26th onward it’s back to flat or near-flat with just tiny dribbles and winds that are mostly offshore or glassy but with no swell to speak of. The 28th has a brief glassy moment with a 1.0 ft, 4-second fart, but it’s not worth the wetsuit.
Honestly, if you’re desperate, Saturday morning the 25th is your only chance, and it’s a marginal one. The rest of the period is a write-off. For a beach break like this, the setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle, but even then, it’s weak.
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.
