Magheramore tomorrow

General.Tee

Anyone think it will be working tomorrow?!Have the day off work so would be handy to get a surf in,cant make it out west. Never been down to it so not sure what to look for on the forecast but from what I can see there might be a wave or two...I see there were a few waves down Waterford today not sure when it actually makes it up to Wicklow though.

Some advice would be great....

Does that place actually throw up a half decent wave? If so what size are we talking and is it a right or left? Is it just a small closing beach break?

Like I said iv never actually surfed it just heard people talking about it, I wouldnt expect too much from the east coast anyway but based in Dublin and have the day off so wouldnt mind getting in somewhere...

Iv been down to whiterock a few times iv been told this is a bit better!

Just wondering if there would be a wave tomorrow would be handy!!

Ah fair enough! I used to live in Sligo before moving east for work. Used to surf Easkey, Strandhill and Lislarry. I'm gonna pack in the job even in a recession as Leinster life is so bland in comparison to the west. Surf, craic, people the lot. I feel like I'm living in the U.K (the pale) since I moved east. Landlocked and the gills are drying up too!

I have heard there is a wave at the Boyne river mouth near Drogheda every so often. Met two guys in Achill some years ago who said they have surfed it at about 3ft on fishes? May be worth a thread for this too? Hope ye get a wave or two bro!

Magheramore can be decent, was brilliant on Saturday. Around 3ft, pretty clean, cross-offshore wind and good period between the waves.

reckon it will be worth it but go early once the wind switches direction the swell will die. Also if it's pants you won't have wasted the say. Stay safe study it for a while from above and hopefully you won't be alone, actually you won't be the seal will be there.

Huge swell and north easterly winds not a safe bet

Winds are due to swing and 15ft swell...

Reckon it's well worth a look around now. Swell is ridic but wind should mean its breaking clean around 4ft over on the right. Was out there yday, nice clean 3-4 footers. White Rock was prob good too for a bit this morn

Ye it was very good! 3/4 foot with good wind worked out very well, out for 3 1/2 hours... Some local lads who were there said it was the best they have seen it for a while! only maybe 5 or 6 people out, hope i get a day like that the next time I have a random midweek day off work!!
