The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Abereiddy. I’ll be honest, the next week and a half is a real bummer. We’ve got a long, dry gap with barely a wave worth paddling for. From now, right through the end of July and into the start of August, it’s a miserable run of tiny, short-period junk and onshore slop. There’s a little more energy in the water around the 1st of August, with combined energy hitting 266 (moderate), but the wind swings around and spoils it almost straight away. It’s a frustrating wait.
The first real chance doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 5th of August. That morning, the swell jumps to 12ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 1918 – that’s strong to very strong energy. The wind is light cross-shore, so the surface is just crinkled, not trashed. This is a big, powerful swell, and at that size, it’s strictly for experts only. Way too much for a learner. The afternoon keeps the same size, with a 10-second period and energy of 1939, and the wind is a light cross-onshore, still holding up. This is the standout window. It’s a proper groundswell event, and the long period will mean the waves have real shape and punch, but also longer lulls between sets. At a fairly exposed spot like Abereiddy, this could be a beast of a session.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit, but that swell on the 5th will be a cold, powerful reminder of what the Atlantic can do. No crowds to worry about usually, but with a swell this size, a few chargers will be sniffing around.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a washout. The only true standout is Wednesday the 5th of August – a big, powerful, expert-only swell with light winds. If you’re a beginner, give it a miss. If you’re a hardcore local, mark that date. I’ll be watching the horizon.
