Interesting week of surfing this week with decent swell hitting the country but unfortunately plenty of onshore winds too!
There was plenty of fun to be had if you knew the right protected spots though!
There are some interesting things coming up with the longboard comp in Lahinch and the ladies surf day in Tramore so it’s all good! Get out there and enjoy it if you can, don’t mind the wind!
Weather Outlook:
Most places will be dry on Saturday with some bright or sunny spells.
However, patches of drizzle are likely to affect southwestern and western coasts at times, with more prolonged outbreaks of rain developing in these areas by nightfall.
Highest temperatures 15 to 18 degrees Celsius.
Saturday night will be dry in many areas at first on Saturday night but rain will develop in western and southern areas.
Sunday : Fairly widespread rain on Sunday morning with some heavy falls in southern areas for a time.
The rain will clear away and much brighter weather will develop for the afternoon, with sunny spells, some scattered showers also in more northern and northwestern parts.
Top temperatures of 14 or 15 degrees in northern areas about 16 or 17 degrees in the south
North:
Sat: 5-6 foot with 12 second period and light onshores in the morning, getting a bit more gusty in the afternoon
Sun: 5 foot with 11 second period and a bit windier than Saturday
Northwest:
Sat: 5-6 foot and a bit blown out with moderate to strong onshores. Streedagh may be your best option
Sun: Much the same as Saturday with the wind even stronger. Bit of a waste of good swell really!
West:
Sat: 3 foot with 12 second period and moderate to strong onshores. May be a bit more protected by Spanish Point but that’s being a bit hopeful!
Sun: Same but windier!!
South and Southwest:
Sat: 3-4 foot of westerly swell hitting the Kingdom with 12 second period and light onshores. Smaller waves in Cork with 1-2 foot, 12 second period and moderate onshores
Sun: Stronger winds on Sunday will mean tougher conditions than Saturday in both Cork and Kerry. Search for the more sheltered spots and you may be rewarded!
Southeast:
Sat: Nothing much happening on Saturday to be honest!
Sun: 2 foot with 6 second period with moderate offshores so shouldn’t be too bad!
