The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let’s talk about what’s on offer at Tullaghan (Leitrim) over the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet start. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much from now through the end of July – nearly 12 days of small, choppy, or onshore junk that’s not worth paddling out for. The swell barely gets a pulse, and when it does, the wind is all wrong. It’s the kind of flat spell that tests your patience.
But then, just when you’re about to give up, Friday 31 July rolls in and it’s a proper little gem. The morning starts clear with a light ESE breeze – that’s cross‑offshore for this spot – keeping the surface glassy and clean. Swell is a solid 5ft out of the west, period around 10 seconds, and the combined energy is sitting at 470 – that’s moderate but well‑directed. The afternoon gets even better: wind swings to SE and goes offshore, the swell bumps up to 6ft, still west, with a bit shorter period (9s) but the energy climbs to 495. The point should be peeling nicely with that W‑NW swell angle. The guide says Tullaghan is a point break, fairly consistent, and it handles NW swell best – this is close enough. It’s intermediate‑friendly, but at 5–6ft it’s a step up from small stuff, so not for total beginners. Crowds are possible – it’s a “sometimes” spot, so expect a few locals out.
After that, Saturday 1 August still has a clean morning with a 3ft swell and light cross‑offshore wind, but the energy drops to 165 and the waves are just ordinary. By afternoon it’s back to choppy onshore mess. And from Sunday onward it’s pretty much a write‑off again – small, windy, or both. So the only real standout is Friday 31 July. If you can get out that day, it’s your window. The rest of the forecast? Not much to write home about.
