    Actually was wondering if it's worth my while going down to lahinch this weekend? I was reading http://www.windguru.cz/int/index.php?sc=47735 but couldn't understand it tbh.

    Only ever go down once every couple of months so not too well up on what's what. In laois btw.

    Not unless you want to sit in O'Looneys and watch the storm from there. You won't / shouldn't be surfing anyway!

    I was down in Lahinch a few months back on beer drinking related business, it was a Monday night, very very windy. I recall the doors in O Looneys blowing in and they were at the other side of the building, the sheltered side! It was a great night for being by the fire drinking porter......

    As a general rule of thumb on windguru, if the colour codes for windspeed are red or purple then forget about it. It'll be blowing dogs off chains.

    Unless slimgsi know's some sheltered spots around W/NW then I would recommend heading SW. Inchydoney will probably be decent this weekend, but lahinch will be muck.

    There's a really big swell due in tomorrow from the north west and west, its coming in from a north westerly direction and the wind is perfect for a few spots portsallon "supertubes" or tullah bay, just outside clonmany, although with a sweel that size and the fairly strong wind, tullah can be dangerous. Those winds can push you out far in a fairly short time in tullah.
