Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tullaghan (Leitrim) over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the next sixteen days for Tullaghan (Leitrim), and I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. For the first week and a half, we're looking at a real flat spell. From Friday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 22nd of July, there's just about nothing worth paddling out for. We're talkin' tiny dribbles, mostly under 2ft, with weak combined energy readings mostly in the double digits (like 14 to 184). The winds are a mixed bag, but even when it's clean, there's just no power in the water. It's a bit of a desert, and that's pretty normal for this area when it goes quiet.
Now, the glimmer of hope comes right at the end of the forecast. On Thursday the 23rd of July, we finally see a pulse. Thursday morning looks like the real standout. The swell jumps up to 5ft from the west, pushing a solid combined energy of 480, which is in the moderate range. The real kicker is the wind – light and from the SSE, which is a clean cross-offshore for the point. You'll be lookin' at clean, lined-up waves, likely with some decent shape thanks to that 10-second period. This is about as good as it gets in this window, and it's on the bigger side, so it's one for the confident intermediates and up. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Friday the 24th holds similar size, 5ft to 6ft from the west, but the wind swings around to the WSW and SW, bringing in a cross-onshore chop that'll mess up the surface. The energy is ramping up, hitting 520 to 620, but it won't be the clean, fun session Thursday morning promised. Then Saturday the 25th of July drops back to 5ft, still with clean cross-offshore winds from the south, but the energy is a bit lower at 392. It's a solid option, but Thursday morning is the one to circle. Crowds are always a possibility here, so don't be surprised if there's a few in the water.
So, for the next week and a half, save your energy. The run starts proper on Thursday the 23rd, with a Monday morning session that's the pick of the bunch. It's a long wait, but it might just be worth it.
Rusty.
