Mullaghmore Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a quiet start with a whole lot of nothing. For the first ten days, from the 14th right through to the 23rd, you’re looking at tiny, weak swell. The waves are barely there, and the energy reading is low, often in the double digits. It’s flat, or close to it. The water temperature is a notable 62°F here, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat if you’re just having a paddle, but there’s nothing to ride.

Things start to look a bit more promising around the 24th. We’ve got a pulse of WNW swell coming in, with a decent period of 11 seconds. The energy jumps up to 454 (moderate wave energy) on the Friday morning, with clean conditions and a light cross-offshore breeze from the east. The swell is around 4 ft, which is a solid size for this spot. This is the first real window to get excited about. The wind holds clean for the morning, so if you’ve got a flexible schedule, that’s your best bet in the early part of the window.

The standout window, however, looks like the 28th, which is a Tuesday, about two weeks out. Tuesday morning sees a nice 5 ft swell from the west, with a 10-second period and a light breeze keeping it clean. The energy is a strong 492 (which is strong wave energy). The wind is cross-off, which suits Mullaghmore (Ireland) nicely, and it’s the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole outlook. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but the potential is there for a proper session.

For the rest of that second week, the 27th and 29th have some smaller, cleaner waves, around 4 ft to 3 ft, but nothing that matches the energy of that 28th.

So, the best call: head for Mullaghmore on the morning of the 24th for a solid, clean session, and keep your fingers crossed for the 28th, which looks like the true standout of the whole period.

Rusty.
