The Lowdown
Right, grab a seat, let's have a look at what's on the table for Mullaghmore. I'm not gonna lie to you, this is a rough one. We're looking at a 16-day window that's pretty much a write-off for decent surf. There's a real gap here, with nothing worth paddling out for. The water's sitting at 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, if you can call that a win.
The first real chance of anything is on Sunday the 26th of July, but it's a grim picture. We've got a 8ft swell from the WNW, but it's getting hammered by a 22 mph cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (963), but the conditions are just poor. That's a lot of water moving around with no shape to it. The following days roll on with the same story – a bit of swell, but the wind is all over the place. Monday the 27th has a 5ft swell from the WNW, but it's cross-shore and lumpy. By Tuesday the 28th, the swell drops to 4ft from the W and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it's weak and messy.
We get a little window on Tuesday afternoon with a clean cross-offshore wind, but the swell is down to 4ft and the energy is weak (158). It's the same on Wednesday the 29th morning – clean, but with 3ft of swell. It's just too small and weak to get excited about. From there, it's a slow slide into flatness. The swell energy drops into the double digits by the end of July and never really recovers. The whole first week is a washout.
The second week doesn't offer any relief. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, with energy readings in the tens. The best we see is a glassy morning on Wednesday the 5th of August, but with a 2ft swell from the W, it's flat. The wind then goes onshore again. The last few days of the forecast, into the 10th of August, are a total bust. There's simply no surf to speak of. For a spot like this, it's a blank run, but it happens. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but I wouldn't be planning a trip around this one.

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.
