The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for The Maze (Tiree). Straight up, I’ve got to be honest with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. Don’t get your hopes up too early because the first real chance of anything decent doesn’t roll in until that Monday, the 3rd of August.
We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. From Sunday the 26th right through to the end of July, it’s either blown out, lumpy, or just plain messy. There’s a couple of days where the swell picks up a bit, but the wind is all wrong – cross-on and fresh, making a proper mess of things. The combined energy of the swells is moderate to strong in places, hitting 2116 on the 26th, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. You’d be fighting a losing battle.
Then we finally get a glimmer of hope on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning session is where it’s at. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell coming from the WSW, and the magic happens with an offshore breeze from the ENE. That’s the window. The combined energy is a solid 392, and it’s going to be clean. The Maze is a beach and point setup, and with that offshore wind it’ll be worth the paddle. Keep in mind it’s a fairly consistent spot, and crowds are sometimes around, so you might have a few mates out. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Monday afternoon and Tuesday look a bit more marginal, with the wind shifting cross-off and the swell dropping a bit, so don’t sleep on that Monday morning window. After that, things get a bit messy again with onshore winds and weaker swell through the rest of the week. There’s a glassy moment on the 9th of August, but the swell is tiny at 2ft, so it’s more of a longboard or a funboard session than anything with real push.
So, to sum it up: the only standout worth getting excited about is that Monday morning, the 3rd of August. Everything else is either blown out, too small, or just not worth the drive. It’s one of those periods where you wait for the one good window, and you grab it.
