The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk turkey. Tullan Strand is in for a long, slow start. From Monday afternoon the 13th through to Tuesday the 21st of July, the surf is negligible. We're talking waves under half a foot, with energy readings barely registering (31). The wind is mostly blowing across or onshore, so while it might look clean, there's just no power behind it.
The one real glimmer of hope hits on the morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July. The water is a bath-like 63°, which is way warmer than normal for the time of year. That morning, a proper chest-high swell (1.3m / 4ft) rolls in from the west with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 269 (moderate). And the best part? It's flat glassy. No wind at all. That's the only window that matters. The swell is big enough for a proper ride but not out of control for the experienced punters.
Thursday the 23rd of July is still surfable, with a 0.9m (3ft) west swell and a clean offshore breeze from the SE, but it's a step down in size and energy (102). The rest of the week sees smaller waves and more wind, so it's not worth your time.
So boil it down: If you’re heading to Tullan Strand, you have to circle that Wednesday morning, July the 22nd. It’s the only real standout in a pretty flat outlook. The rest is a lot of staring at the horizon.

Information about the Tullan Strand Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tullan Strand provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tullan Strand can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tullan Strand surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tullan Strand) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tullan Strand may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
