The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Abereiddy. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The models are showing a real flat spell, and the wind is just not playing ball for most of it. The water’s sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your nuts off waiting for a set that never comes.
We start off on Sunday the 30th of August, but it’s a write-off. There’s a risk of thunderstorms and a strong 19 mph S wind blowing cross-off, with a 5 ft SW swell at a short 8 seconds. The energy is weak (313), and the models are calling it poor surf. Don’t even bother. This poor pattern hangs around for days. The wind is a mess – cross, cross-on, onshore – and the swell is a mix of weak and short-period stuff. There’s a big lump of energy on Friday the 4th of September, with a 10 ft WSW swell, but it’s being hammered by a 25 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s a washing machine, not a surf session. The combined energy hits 1017, but it’s just raw, messy power. That’s kite-surfing conditions, not paddle surfing.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean the only one, is on the 7th of September. Monday morning, we get a 5 ft SW swell with a 6-second period. The energy is moderate (177). The wind is a clean 16 mph cross-off from the SSW. That’s the cleanest window in the whole 16 days. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and rideable for a beginner-to-intermediate. After that, it drops off a cliff. The rest of the week into the second week is tiny, with swell under 2 ft and weak energy. There’s a very long period 11-second swell on the 12th of September, but it’s only 1.0 ft – more of a ripple than a wave.
So, the standout is the morning of Monday the 7th of September. That’s your best bet. Everything else is a no-go. It’s a long gap from the 7th to the 13th, where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The 13th shows a 1.0 ft WSW swell with a 10-second period and light E winds, but it’s flat. For an area like this, a blank run isn’t unusual – the forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
