easterlies = weed???

would most of the east coast beaches be affected with weed with the current easterly wind?

Short answer No!!! Weed growth has been limited with the cold weather in Ireland over the last six months!!! so unless we get a hurricane there wont be much weed around.

unless your local headshop is still open

If it's weed you're after no better place to try on the east coast than Kilcoole! I've often found Greystones South and Newcastle clear of weed on the same day, and yet you'd be haulin' it in by the ton in Kilcoole which is smack bang in the middle. The short answer is to avoid Kilcoole even if you're advised that the east coast is clear.
