Forecast for Friday 20th September through to Monday 23rd September
Very settled weather over the country this weekend with the best of it being in the West for probably the first time this year. Not much surf to be had on either coast and the Dublin bay area having the best of the fairly marginal wind.
East Coast – Dublin Area

Friday: Not much going on today.
Saturday: There will be some very onshore wind swell. Maybe just enough for practising pop ups in the white water.
Sunday: Similar to yesterday.
Monday: Not a lot going on today.
Wind Forecast
Friday: 8-14 knots from the ENE. Should be enough for winging, big kites or windsurf sails and beginner windsurfing.
Saturday: 11-19 knots from the ENE for much of the day. Looks like a good forecast for all wind sports.
Sunday: ENE winds again today with the best of it being between 11am and 3pm. 13-22 knots for this window giving great conditions all round.
Monday: Not a lot going on today.
West Coast – Donegal Bay

Monday: Flat today.
Wind Forecast
Friday: No wind.
Saturday: Not a lot of wind today. Maybe just enough to get going with a wing and foil. Winds from the ENE.
Sunday: 9-14 knots from the ENE in the morning. Not amazing but theres something.
Monday: No wind today.
NB: This is all subject to change at short notice. This being Ireland weather systems are volatile and a forecast made even the night before can change over night. Hopefully this forecast blog can give a good prediction of what will happen in the days ahead so you can plan the days you look to go on the water but it is always a good idea to check more location specific forecasting models before you go both to know what equipment to bring and for safety.
