Unless you have been talking to me in person or have your name on the waiting list, the trip is full unfortunately. There may be a chance to get more accommodation down in lahinch but its is something I am looking into and if it is possible for us to bring anymore people. If you want to send me your phone numbers, id no and Full name in a private message I can keep ye posted if this changes if it doesnt the next one will be in Kilarney end of week 7

Unfortunately the lahinch trip has reached capacity. So unless you have paid money and signed up already or have been put on the waiting list last week (the very start of the waiting list too) there is no more space unfortunately. There will more trips in the future including mid week river trips. The next weekend trip will be in Kilarney end of week 7. If spaces come up you will be notified in the order you are on the waiting list. Thanks guys.

From here, the surf forecast for the weekend looks fantastic, and completely appropriate for the weekend as well.
Surf Swell Rating Primary Swell Wind Weather Prob.
Saturday 27/09
6am 5-8ft 6.5ft 12s 13 18 Brief Showers Possible 15°c 100%
Noon 5-8ft 6.5ft 12s 16 22 mph Sunny 17°c 100%
6pm 5-8ft 7ft 12s 14 21 mph Sunny 17°c 100%
Sunday 28/09
6am 5-7ft 6.5ft 12s 12 16 mph Cloudy 15°c 100%
Noon 5-7ft 6ft 11s 10 13 mph Brief Showers Possible 17°c 100%
6pm 4-6ft 5.5ft 11s 6 9 mph Sunny 16°c 100%
High tides are at about (sat) 07:30, 19:50 (sun) 08:10 20:32 so there's going to be perfect timing for hangover cures on both mornings when the surf is on the sand only, and it'll be out at 13.30 or so leaving a large expanse of beach to play on!

Weather forecast too looks very good.. Probably not quite as warm as last year but not far off.
FRIDAY ... Intervals of cloud and sunshine, the cloud once again more likely in western to northern counties. Highs 17-21 C warmest again in the east and southeast.
SATURDAY ... Foggy to start, then some sunny breaks, warm, but with coastal fog or drizzle in parts of south and west. Lows 7-9 C and highs 18-20 C.
SUNDAY ... Cloudy with a few sunny intervals, a few outbreaks of light rain possible in west. Lows near 10 C and highs near 18 C.

The high tide in the morning means anyone who wants to get out for a cheeky surf on the reefs before instructing for the day will get to! Light wind too so it should be super clean :lol:
