Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from right here on the ground. Let's talk about what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Truth be told, we've got a long stretch of nothin' much to get excited about for a while. For the first week and a half, the waves are basically flat or close to it. We're talkin' ankle-snappers at best with weak energy (22 or less), and the wind is mostly blowin' across or on it. Not what you'd call surfable.
The first real sign of life isn't until Wednesday the 22nd in the morning. That's our standout. Mullaghmore is lookin' like it might finally wake up with a solid 8ft swell rollin' in from the WNW. That's proper size – experts only territory, mind you. The period is a nice 11 seconds, so it's got some legs, and with a light SW cross-off breeze, the surface should be real clean. Energy is strong too, sittin' around (1720). This is the one to circle on the calendar.
The water temp on the 12th was 61°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit early on if you're brave enough to paddle out in the tiny stuff.
Before that standout, there's a lot of small, weak surf. We get a tiny bump around Monday the 20th with some 4ft to 6ft swell and moderate energy, but the wind is cross-onshore the whole time, messin' it up. Not worth the paddle.
After the Wednesday the 22nd swell, it drops back down fast. Thursday the 23rd has some 5ft leftovers, but with cross and cross-onshore winds, it'll be choppy and messy. Then we're back to small stuff for the rest of the run.
So, to wrap it up: you got a whole lot of nothin' until Wednesday the 22nd. If you're an experienced surfer and you can wait, that morning session at the reef is your best and pretty much only shot at a proper wave in the next two weeks.
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.
