The Lowdown
Right then, folks. Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown for the Tullaghan (Leitrim) region. Let's be straight with you – it's been a tough run lately, and looking at the next 16 days, we've got a long stretch of very small, wind-affected surf to get through before any real hope shows up.
The overall pattern is pretty grim. We’re looking at a gap of about two weeks with very little to get excited about. The water’s sitting at 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
Right now, on Thursday the 6th of August, it's tiny with a weak 2 ft swell from the west and a cross-onshore wind. Not worth paddling out for.
Things do start to pick up a bit on the morning of Saturday the 8th of August. We’ll see a modest 4 ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is actually cross-offshore, which will keep the waves clean. The combined energy is moderate (246). It's still not going to be firing, but for a patient surfer on a longboard, it's the first real option on the table.
Sunday morning the 9th of August is similar – a clean 3 ft swell from the west (161 combined energy) with a light cross-offshore breeze. Again, it's surfable but very ordinary.
After that, we drop right back down to flat or near-flat conditions for the best part of a week and a half. You'll see tiny waves under 2 ft and a mix of glassy mornings and light onshore afternoons, but nothing with any power or push.
Now, for the true standout, we have to look a long way ahead. On Thursday the 20th of August, we get a proper pulse. The swell builds to 6 ft from the WNW with a long period of 11 seconds. That’s groundswell energy, and the combined energy is strong (944). The catch is the wind – it’s a moderate cross-onshore, which will chop things up. This is expert territory at that size, and the onshore wind will make it a battle. It might be better suited to the kite surfers than the paddle crew.
Friday the 21st of August keeps the size with a 6 ft swell from the WNW, but the wind turns directly onshore, making it even less appealing.
So, to wrap it up: the best of a quiet bunch is the clean, small waves on Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th. The bigger swell on the 20th has serious energy, but the wind is against it. We’re in a flat spell for now, but the forecasts can always change for the better.
Rusty.
