The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Abereiddy.
To be straight with you, the first week or so is pretty bleak. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.3m to 0.6m, and the wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, onshore. It’s not going to be worth paddling out for. You’ll be bobbing around on dribble with a cross-chop. Thursday morning the 5th of August goes glassy, but the swell is only 0.3m, so it’s a flat spell with a nice surface. The water temperature is sitting at 17°C, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Then things get interesting. Friday morning the 7th of August sees a sudden jump in swell height to 2.5m from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds and combined energy of 898 (moderate). But the wind is a cross-on 15 km/h out of the west, and the surf quality is still poor. It’s a lumpy mess. That afternoon, the wind drops to a cross breeze, but it only gets a marginal rating. Honestly, for a beginner spot like Abereiddy, 2.5m is too big for beginners anyway – that’s expert territory.
The real standout, and the only one I’d get excited about, is Saturday morning the 8th of August. The swell drops to a solid 1.8m from the WSW, period 8 seconds, with combined energy of 392 (moderate). The wind swings around to the ENE at just 10 km/h, blowing cross-offshore. That means clean faces. The guidance says “expect good surf conditions,” and with that light offshore breeze, the waves will be lining up nicely. Abereiddy is a fairly consistent spot, so this is your window. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might share it, but with that quality, it’s worth it. Just be aware, 1.8m is getting a bit much for beginners, but for an intermediate surfer, it’s a solid session.
After that, Sunday the 9th still has a clean 1.0m on the morning, but it’s ordinary. Then the wind turns nasty again, and the swell dips back into the small stuff. The second week sees more onshore wind and small, weak waves – nothing to write home about.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. Saturday morning the 8th of August is the pick of the bunch. Get on it.
Rusty.
