The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s a tough watch for a while. The Maze (Tiree) is all set to get smashed by a huge, powerful westerly swell, but the wind is going to be a nightmare for almost the entire run. The water temperature is sitting at 59°, which is about 2° warmer than the norm for this time of year, so it’s not a total shock to the system.
The first real chance of anything halfway decent doesn’t come until Saturday the 12th of September. Through the morning, we’ve got a solid 8 ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is a strong 2550. The wind is a light cross-onshore, which is messy, but it’s a gentle breeze, so it’s not going to be full-on blown out. It’s only a marginal call, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon drops off a bit, with the swell backing down to 6 ft and the wind going straight onshore.
After that, it’s pretty grim again. A few pulses of waist-to-chest high swell pop up around the 15th and 16th, but the wind is howling from the north or west, making it a messy, lumpy affair. The 18th of September shows a bit of hope with a 8 ft west swell (1122 energy) and light onshore winds, but the quality is still poor.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best you could hope for is a quick, scrappy paddle on the 12th morning before the wind swings. For the rest of it, the combination of big swell and strong wind is more interesting for the kite surfers than for us. It’s a long stretch of poor conditions, but that’s Tiree for you—when it’s on, it’s magic, but when it’s off, it’s a proper battle.
