The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Abereiddy over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag, and honestly, for the most part, it’s pretty grim. The swell is going to be all over the place, and the wind is going to be a problem more often than not. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions to start, but there’s a tiny glimmer of hope right at the end of the first week.
The water at Abereiddy is sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice, but it won’t make up for the lack of waves.
We’re looking at a big gap with no real recommendations until Monday morning, September 7th. That’s a solid week of waiting. Before that, you’ve got a mix of onshore, cross-shore, and lumpy winds with swell that’s often too small or too messy. The one exception is Sunday, August 30th, where we see a 5ft swell from the SW, but with a risk of thunderstorms and a cross-off wind, it’s not really a goer. The combined energy on that morning is 306 (moderate), but the conditions are still rated poor.
Now, the standout. It’s not huge, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. Monday morning, September 7th is the best on offer. The wind is glassy, zero wind, which is a major positive. The swell is 4ft from the W with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is 251 (moderate). The description says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is the best we get. It’s a beginner-friendly break, Abereiddy, so that 4ft swell is a good size for a learner session, but it’s not going to be a classic. Keep your expectations low.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the second week is a mix of small, weak swells and strong winds. Wednesday, September 9th morning has a 3ft swell from the N with a moderate offshore wind, but the energy is weak (92), and it’s just ordinary. The rest of the period dies off completely, with tiny 0.7ft to 1ft swells and strong onshore winds. It’s a washout.
So, bottom line: if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Monday morning on the 7th is your only real shot. The rest of the forecast is a write-off. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
