Table - best surf conditions forecast for Maghermore over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for Maghermore. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about for the entire 16-day outlook.
Overall Pattern
The problem is clear: we’ve got tiny, weak swell with a short period, and persistent cross-shore winds. The combined energy of all swells is pathetic, barely scraping double digits at best, with a combined energy of just 27 (July 11th) to a measly 98 (July 13th). That’s weak, weak, weak. The water temperature is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The First Week (July 11–17)
We start off with a bit of swell on Saturday the 11th, but it’s a messy 2 ft from the NE with a 4-second period and a stiff 16 mph cross-shore wind. The wave comment says it all: “poor surf conditions.” Sunday and Monday are more of the same – a bit more height, up to 4 ft, but the period is still short (5-6 seconds) and the wind is a fresh, lumpy cross-shore or cross-onshore. Combined energy stays under 100. It’s just not worth paddling out.
By Tuesday the 14th, the swell is dropping back to 3 ft, and it just gets smaller from there. The rest of the week is a slow fade to nothing. By Friday the 17th, we’re looking at 1.0 ft swell with a glassy morning, but honestly, there’s no energy to ride. The combined energy is a single digit 7.
The Second Week (July 18–26)
This is where it gets really bleak. From Saturday the 18th right through to the 26th, the swell is virtually non-existent. We’re talking 0.3 ft at best, with massive gaps of zero swell. There are several days where the combined energy is literally 0. There’s a brief flicker on the 21st with a 3 ft windswell from the N, but it’s only a 4-second period and the wind is onshore. It’s kite-surfing conditions, not paddle surfing.
Standout Options
There are no standouts. None. This is a blank run. For an area like Maghermore, this kind of flat spell isn’t unheard of. It’s just one of those times where you’re better off finding something else to do. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total washout.
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.
