Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk Tullaghan (Leitrim) – a point break that’s normally pretty reliable, but the next couple of weeks? Honest truth – there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The entire 16-day window from now through to the 22nd of July is a whole lot of flat with only tiny, weak waves and choppy or cross‑shore winds. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits most sessions, often under 100, and even the few glassy moments come with swell heights below 1.6ft. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
The guidance says Tullaghan likes a solid NW swell, but all we’re getting are small WNW and W pulses with periods mostly around 8–10 seconds – not the long‑period groundswell this point needs. Winds are messy, frequently cross‑onshore or onshore, and while there are a handful of clean offshore or glassy windows on the 14th and 15th, the wave heights are down to 1–1.3ft. No juice. The whole forecast stretches from Tuesday morning right through to Wednesday the 22nd without a single session that breaks the “poor” rating. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a dry spell. It tends not to stay this quiet for long, so forecasts could shift, but right now there’s zero to get excited about. Leave the boards at home.
