Right then, let's get into it. The outlook for the next 16 days here is a tough one, I'm not gonna lie. We've got a long stretch of flat or very small waves ahead, so don't be expecting to get the board wet much.
The first thing to say is that we start off with some small stuff that just gets blown out by the wind. The water's sitting at a very warm 62°F which is *much warmer than normal* for the time of year, but that won't help the surf.
The first few days, starting Tuesday morning, the 7th of July, we've got a weak 4ft swell from the west, but it's a short 9-second period and the wind is a messy cross-on from the WSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is weak (210), and honestly, it's just poor surf. That sets the tone for the whole first week. Wednesday, the 8th, brings the smallest swell (3ft) but glassy conditions on the morning; it's still a no-go though, as the waves just don't have any push. Every single day up to the 11th of July is a write-off, with 'poor surf conditions' every session.
Then we hit a proper flat spell. From Sunday the 12th of July right through to Monday the 21st of July, the swell drops right out. The wave heights barely reach 2ft for days on end, with the combined energy falling below 100 (82, 19, 18, 10...). There are plenty of clean days with offshore winds, but there's simply nothing to ride. The whole area goes quiet.
Now, there is a glimmer of hope right at the end, on Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning shows a bump back up to 3ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy rising to a moderate 113. The wind is light from the NW at 3 mph. It’s still a little onshore, so the shape might be fat, but after two weeks of nothing, it'll be the best on offer by far. The afternoon gets ruined by cross-on wind again, so the Wednesday morning is the one session to look at. It's a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
The best bet in the whole window is that Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, at Mullaghmore. It's not a classic by any stretch, but it's the only thing with any energy. It's a powerful reef break for advanced surfers only anyway, and even then it's 'sometimes' crowded, so you'll have to fight for what little there is.

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.
