The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for Abereiddy. There’s barely a ripple worth chasing for the first several days. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is tiny or full of chop. It’s a frustrating start.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Sunday, the 2nd of August. We’ve got a late-morning window with a clean, cross-off breeze from the ESE. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds, giving the water a moderate kick of energy (253). The afternoon gets a bit bigger, 5 ft from the SW, but it’s a mixed bag with a cross breeze and the comment’s marginal. Still, that Sunday morning is the pick of the first week – it’s the only time the word “clean” gets used for the wave state.
After that, we’re back into a messy run of strong winds and lumpy conditions. The 6th of August Thursday afternoon sees a 8 ft SW swell with a very long period of 7 seconds? No, that’s a short period, but the energy is strong (561). The wind is light and onshore, but it’s a huge wall of water for a beginner spot. That’s expert territory.
Then, on the 7th of August, Friday morning, we get a proper 10 ft WSW swell with a long 9-second period, and the energy is absolutely pumping (1404). But the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, blown-out mess. That’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle day. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-off, but the wind is a near-gale 31 mph. That’s not safe.
The only other standout, if you can call it that, is the 2nd of August. It’s a short window, and it’s not world-class, but it’s the only time the stars align for a clean, surfable wave. The water temp is a pleasant 62°, which is about average for the time of year.
So, the honest truth: there’s nothing in this 16-day window that gets me properly excited. The best you’ll get is a brief, clean session on Sunday the 2nd of August. For the rest, it’s either flat, blown out, or way too big for the average punter. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough run.
Rusty.
