The Lowdown
Alright, let's get real about the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a bit of a flat spell. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, and I'm not going to sugarcoat it. There's no session here that gets my blood pumping, which is a crying shame for a beast like Mullaghmore.
We're looking at a long stretch with no real surf to speak of. The only time we see any kind of height is around the 25th and 26th of July, with a 6ft to 7ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a mess. It's cross-onshore or onshore, with a combined wave energy of 567 (Saturday morning) to 732 (Sunday morning), so it's got some power, but it's gonna be choppy and ugly. That's kite-surfing weather, not for a proper paddle.
The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild.
The few times the wind plays nice, like on the morning of the 31st of July with a light SE breeze and a 3ft swell, or the 6th of August with glassy conditions, the swell is tiny – just 1ft to 3ft. The energy is weak, with values like 75 and 17. You'd be fighting for scraps.
There's no standout. Not one. The whole period is a bust. It's one of those times where you're better off doing something else. The forecasts can flip, but right now, there's nothing to get stoked about at Mullaghmore.

Information about the Mullaghmore Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mullaghmore provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mullaghmore can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mullaghmore 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 (Mullaghmore) 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 Mullaghmore 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.
