The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on offer at Mullaghmore.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty quiet. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak wind-affected slop, so don't even bother checking the cam until we get towards the weekend. There's a long stretch here with nothing worth paddling out for.
We finally see a bit of life arriving on Saturday, August 8th. The morning has some waist-high swell, around 4ft, coming from the WNW with a moderate 9-second period. The winds are cross-offshore, which is a bonus, keeping the surface clean. The energy is moderate at best (254), so it won't be powerful, but for the first decent window in days, it's the best we've got. The afternoon holds similar, with a touch more south in the wind keeping it clean. It's not going to be a classic, but it's surfable.
After that, we slip back into a very small, weak pattern. The swell drops right off, with only knee-high waves on the menu through the middle of the week. The winds look clean at times, especially on Tuesday, August 11th, with a light offshore from the SSE, but with the swell barely pushing 1ft (22), there's simply no energy to work with.
There is a slight pulse of longer-period groundswell trying to show on Wednesday, August 19th, with a 13-second period from the W. However, the swell height is still only around 2ft and the winds are howling onshore from the WSW, turning it into a choppy, blown-out mess. It's too far out to be certain, but even if it fills in a touch, the wind is going to ruin it for paddle surfing. Honestly, with the strong winds and poor quality on the beach-and-reef setup here, that day looks more interesting for the kite crew than for us.
Keep your expectations low for this stretch. It’s one of those quiet spells that happens.
Rusty.

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.
