The Lowdown
Gather 'round, lads and lasses, it's Rusty here. Let's get into it. We're looking at a proper flat spell for The Maze (Tiree). The bad news is right up front: this 16-day forecast is a total write-off for any decent surf. There's a gap of a full 16 days with no recommendations at all. It's a long, dry stretch, so don't be holding your breath for a wave.
The whole forecast period is plagued by poor conditions. The first few days, from Monday the 27th of July right through the weekend, are a mess. We see a moderate swell coming in on Monday, 5ft from the west with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 510 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a cross-onshore WSW breeze at 16 mph, making it choppy and unrideable. The situation actually gets worse on Tuesday, with a 7ft swell from the WSW but a near-gale cross-onshore wind of 31 mph, blowing everything out completely. That size is already too big for beginners, and the conditions are just horrendous.
The water temperature right now is 58°, which is about average for the time of year, not that it matters much when you can't paddle out.
As we move into the second week, the swell drops off a cliff. From the 31st of July, we're looking at ankle-snappers and knee-high slop, with heights barely reaching 2ft. The combined energy values are in the double digits, which is weak energy. The winds do start to ease from the 3rd of August, with some clean conditions showing up on Monday morning (ENE 6 mph, offshore), but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the WNW. There's a slight pickup on the 6th of August, with a 5ft swell from the WNW and a 7-second period, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-offshore, which is a bit too strong for a clean, fun wave. The combined energy climbs to 208 (moderate wave energy), but it's still a messy, windy affair.
The very end of the forecast, around the 10th of August, shows a bit of a longer-period swell reaching 10 seconds from the WSW, but the height is only 3ft and the wind is cross-onshore. It's a frustrating outlook. Honestly, for a spot like this, a blank run like this is not unusual. It tends not to stay poor for long, but this time it's a proper dud. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Keep your wax in the cupboard, folks.
