**SEVERE SWELL WARNING**

#1 Post by Muck »

As im sure most of you know there is a massive swell on its way in tonight. It will peak tomorrow afternoon with waves up to a possible 35 ft on the big sets. West gets it worse but even here in Portrush is predicted for 30ft by 3pm.
I wouldn't bother fishing tomorrow! The fish probably know all about this and have already packed their bags for deeper realms anyway.

They changed the title after a few complaints. Somehow forgot to add the Ireland bit though
