Seeing 1 of the local breaks, Eoropie (on MSW) is forecasted as being 23foot, 4stars & offshore wind, which means that there'll be tonnes of other breaks working too, bigger and smaller! Looks like Northern Ireland could also be getting it!
So many times i see superb forecasts on magic seaweed that don't materialise closer to the time! Please let this one happen!

lol - within 9 hours of reading that forecast it's already dropped down to 19foot, 2 starts out of 4 for sunday. Saturday is also 25foot but just 4grey stars. MSW giving false hope of the almost perfet swell. Well at least there's guaranteed swell so there'll be a few places going off pretty impressively!

MSW optimistic forecasts suck!

yeah - i always notice that the further in advance the forecast is, the more promising it looks. Still though, providing the wind aint too over the top, we should have some decent surf!

looks like we're pretty near the centre of a low pressure so difficult to work out what the conditions might be. Forecast is changing about 5times a day, guaranteed surf at least, all depends on the wind. Need it decent though as only times i can go out at the moment are friday afternoons, saturday and sunday!

Well its looking like a peek of 25ft open seas on Sat. dropping down to an average of 13ft with light NW winds moving into SW (offshore) by Sunday. Chances looking good here! :D:D:D

The coming week is going to be another epic week! with offshores all week.
