The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Rossbeigh Strand. The forecast is a long one, but it’s a slow burner. The first few days are pretty flat and weak, so don’t get your hopes up early.
The first session that’s actually worth mentioning comes on Thursday, July 30th, in the morning. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 345. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSE, so the surface will be clean. This is the best wave of the whole forecast for the average surfer. The break is fairly consistent and fairly exposed. For beginners, 6ft is getting a bit big, so be careful. Crowds are possible, so be ready to share.
After that, things get messy again until Monday, August 5th. That morning, we’ve got a 7ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is strong at 827. The wind is cross-offshore from the SSE at 25 km/h, keeping it clean. This is a proper swell, but 7ft is expert territory. The break is inconsistent, so you’ll be waiting for the sets, but they’ll have some power. Crowds are likely.
The afternoon of August 5th holds at 7ft, still clean with a fresh cross-offshore breeze, but the energy backs off a touch. Still a solid option for the experienced crew.
Everything after August 5th drops off into tiny, weak surf. Not worth the paddle.
So, bottom line: Beginners, aim for the morning of July 30th. Experts, lock in the morning of August 5th. Those are the two best windows.
Rusty.

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 Rossbeigh Strand 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.
