march 12th weekend surf forecast
Surf Forecast:
It has been a better week here with surfable waves most days and sunny skies. A few people down at Tullan most evenings for after work sessions. We even got to surf the Peak one morning, the first time in nearly a month!For the weekend it looks like we will have surfable waves at Tullan on Sat and Sun but the winds are not looking great. On Sat waves at tullan should be in the 2 to 3 foot range with NW onshore winds. Surfable but it will be choppy. On Sun the conditions should be fairly similar with 2 foot waves and NW winds so choppy conditions again. The conditions for next week are looking better and we are expecting waves and better wind conditions for St. Patrick's day if you are planning a surf day in Donegal. So a poor weekend surf forecast but there will be waves for the keen.Tides this weekend high (3.4m) at 5pm and low (0.9m) at 11am Enjoy!

weekend surf forecast
Great promotion in the surf shop at the moment. 2 for the price of 1 on surf clothing. Free board bag with any new board purchased. Ends on Sunday. Click here.We also have a big selection of performance boards in stock from local and international shapers, all come with fins and free board bag. Click here.Pete is chasing waves in Indonesia. His last trip was great. Click here.We are now taking bookings for Easter surf and stay deals and womens surf and pilates weekends. Our Roxy Days are going to be running on May 8th and June 19th. Details to follow.
Looks like we are stuck in another northerly airflow at the moment. It has been a poor surf week in Bundoran. There were a few waves at the beach early in the week but its been very small since then. Rumours are that north facing spots have been good yesterday and today and will probably be ok tomorrow. For Bundoran this weekend the forecast is not looking too hot. Hopefully we will have some small waves at Tullan on Sat but its 50/50. Winds are due to be offshore so if there are waves it will be small and clean. Streedagh might be worth a look. On Sunday the swell direction looks a little better so might be a few waves at Tullan again and the winds look offshore. Overall a poor weekend forecast but we should be nearing the end of this northerly spell and hopefully some spring swells on the way. Tides this weekend low (0.5m) at 11am and high (4.0m) at 5pm Enjoy!

Pete is still off on his travels. Left the quite sunny north island of NZ for the even hotter shores of the Gold Coast Aus. Just a stop on the way to the tropical shores of Bali. Lucky man.
The Surfbreaks.ie trip to Morocco all arrived back happy and surfed out. They got good waves all week. Lots of Irish people in Morocco for surf this year. Anchor Point was double to triple overhead one day and reports are the standout surfer on the day was Cain Kilcullen from Enniscrone, who is on our surf team. Good photos on the way from Daveth @ Mindscape.ie who had his camera gear on the trip.
Weekend surf forecast
We had a few surprisingly decent days here this week, even though we thought the swell was a bit too north for Bundoran. We were all packed and ready to head for a good north facing spot when we spotted good sets at a Bundoran reef. Only 2 foot but clean and barreling waves so saved us having to drive.
For the weekend looks like Saturday will be the best day. On Sat we are expecting waves in the 3 foot range at Tullan with light cross shore winds (southerly). The winds may turn a bit more variable during the day but should stay light. Probably enough swell for Rossnowlagh also but check Tullan first. On sunday the swell direction is going to be more from the north so it will miss Bundoran a bit. Should still be enough for 1-2 foot waves at Tullan with very light onshore winds so not as good as Sat.
Tides this weekend high (3.4m) at 10am and low (1.1m) at 4pm Enjoy!

wetsuit reviews
We got our team rider Cian to review the O'Neill Psycho Freak 4.5/3.5 and staff member Shane reviewed the Xcel Infiniti hooded 5/4/3. Both suits have their own selling points. Sounds like it may be a case of the Freak for the groms and competition surfers, and Infiniti for us older folk?
O'Neill Psycho Freak 4.5/3.5
The O’Neil psychofreak is definitely the warmest and best wetsuit I have ever had. But my favourite thing about the wetsuit is it is only a 4.5 3.5 and this makes it really flexible. I would recommend this suit for anybody who would like a really warm suit and for it to be flexible. It is perfect for all the groms.
Costs €374 at Bundoran Surf Co.
By Cian Logue.
Xcel Infiniti Hooded 5/4/3
The Xcel infiniti wetsuits have been on the market here in Ireland for the past four years or so. Within this period they have established a reputation for keeping surfers warm and in the water for longer on even the coldest days in the depths of winter.
The model I went for this year is the 5.4.3 infiniti hooded. The suit is very comfortable and extremely warm! I have had an xcel suit before but used a different suit all last winter. This break fom xcel suits made me appreciate how warm they actually are. I noticed that between sets, when I would usually be hunched up with my hands stuck in my armpits for warmth, I was instead comfortable and my muscles were relaxed. Another pleasant surprise was that my session ended due to tired arms and not the onslaught of Hypothermia!
Although xcel suits are perceived by Irish surfers as being amongst the warmest on the market, I have heard some surfers question there flexibility. I found my suit plenty flexible. The fact of the matter is that your body is going to be more flexible when your warm and there is steady blood flow through your muscles. Maybe if your Kelly Slater you might feel limited by the slight extra weight in this suit. But then again if you were Kelly Slater you’d probably head off to Hawaii for Jan/Feb rather than staying here freezing your nuts off!
Costs €335 at Bundoran Surf Co.

Weekend surf forecast jan 8th 2010
It has been a poor few weeks of surfing since before Christmas. There have been waves at Tullan most days but quite small.
Good here this morning, at last, with 4 foot and offshore waves.The weekend is looking ok. Sat should be shoulder high and clean at Tullan. Best in the afternoon as the tide drops out and the wind goes more easterly. Maybe a small wave at Rossnowlagh and flat at Streedagh. Sunday will be a bit bigger and should be head high at tullan, maybe a little bigger, and Rossnowlagh should have a small wave but again flat at Streedagh. Maybe a small wave at some reef breaks on Sun but its 50/50.
Overall, better than it has been so hopefully things are turning around on the surf front. Loads of swells in the Atlantic but the northerly airflows are keeping them away from us.
Tides this weekend high (3.2m) at 1pm and low (1.5m) at 7pm. Enjoy!
