The Lowdown
Well, folks, let's be straight with you. I've had a good look at the charts for Abereiddy over the next couple of weeks, and I gotta tell you, it's a bit of a bust. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There's not a single session that's worth paddling out for. The wave energy is feeble, barely cracking 100 (max 182) on any given day, and the wind is just wrong, almost always cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy.
The first week is particularly grim. From Saturday the 18th right through to the following Saturday the 25th, it's a mess of small, weak swell and onshore breezes. You'll see a bit of a bump in size on Wednesday the 22nd and then again on Sunday the 26th, with swell heights pushing 1.4m, but the wind is up and it's all cross-onshore, so it's just lumpy, poor-quality junk. The water temperature is sitting at 17°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about there.
Into the second week, things don't improve much. There's a fleeting moment on Thursday the 30th of July where the wind swings offshore and the water gets clean. The swell is 1.3m from the WSW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is 182 – the highest of the whole run. But with a 7-second period, it's a short-period wind swell, lacking the punch and shape of a proper groundswell. It's a bit of a tease. For a spot that's a beginner-friendly beach break, that little burst of clean conditions is the only real highlight, but it's still not a standout.
The second week also sees a few days with a moderate cross-shore breeze, but the swell is too small to get excited about. Honestly, if you're looking for a paddle, this isn't your week. The wind is strong enough that a kite might be more fun than a surfboard on those days with a bit of size and cross-shore winds.
So, there you have it. A blank run, which, for this area, isn't that unusual. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but as it stands, the surf is a no-go.
