Weather Information

If in doubt, don't go out!

There are several important things to do before you go sailing as follows:

• Get an up to date weather forecast - it can change quickly in Ireland
• Let someone know what you are doing and when you can be expected back
• Always prepare for the worst
• Wear a lifejacket at all times while on the water

There are many sources of weather and wind information, and everyone has their own personal favourites, but the key information is that provided by Met Eireann, the Irish Weather Service, which provides weather forecasts specific to the Inland Lakes of Ireland, including Lough Derg.
