The Lowdown
Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
This is a classic tale of patience for the Tullaghan (Leitrim) area. The first week is a write-off, honestly. We're looking at a solid gap of six days from now until the 15th of September with nothing worth paddling out for. The winds are all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore, making a mess of the small, weak swell. The combined energy is mostly in the weak to moderate range, and even the few clean-looking windows on the 13th and 14th are just too gutless to get excited about.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on the morning of Wednesday the 16th of September. The wind swings offshore from the ESE, cleaning up a 4ft WNW swell. The energy is a solid moderate, and with a 10-second period, it’ll have some shape. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so grab a 4/3 for the early session. This is your best bet for a clean, fun wave if you're willing to hold out.
Then, things get interesting for the experienced crew. The morning of Monday the 23rd of September is a standout, but it's a big boy's session. We’re looking at an 8ft WNW swell with a 12-second period, pumping a very strong energy reading. The wind is cross-off from the ESE, keeping it clean. By the afternoon, the wind goes full offshore, dropping to 8ft and the energy still very strong. This is excellent surf, but for experts only. The swell is solid, and that long period groundswell will be lining up best on the point. It's a week and a half away, so the forecast is promising but not set in stone.
The Tuesday the 24th of September morning is still good, with a 7ft W swell and offshore winds, offering a slightly more manageable option for strong intermediates.
Alright, that's the picture. Hope you’ve got some wax saved up.
Rusty.
