Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mullaghmore over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Mullaghmore are looking pretty flat and quiet. I’ve scanned every day and there’s nothing that’s really going to get the blood pumping. No good surf options in the entire 16-day window, I’m afraid.
Right now, on Wednesday the 8th, we’ve got a tiny 3 ft west swell, but the wave energy is weak at 168, and the conditions are already poor. The water’s sitting at 61°, which is a couple of degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. Through Thursday and Friday, the swell drops a little more, and we’ve got mostly onshore or cross-shore winds messing things up. The surf just isn’t there.
The whole first week, from the 8th through the 14th, sees tiny swell heights between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, with periods mostly under 11 seconds. The wave energy stays weak, often well under 100. A few mornings, like Sunday the 12th and Monday the 13th, offer clean, cross-offshore winds from the east, but there’s barely a ripple to ride.
The second week looks even quieter. From the 15th to the 23rd, swell never gets above 3 ft, and most days it’s well below that. The best you’ll see is a light glassy morning on the 16th, but with only 0.7 ft on offer, it’s a lake. There’s a slight bump in energy on the 20th, with 3 ft and moderate 197 energy, but the wind is onshore from the NW, making it choppy and blown out.
Honestly, this stretch is a blank run, and for this area it’s not unusual. It tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Leave the board in the van and wait for the next system.
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.
