The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight to it. The next couple of weeks at The Maze are looking pretty tough. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions and small, messy swell. The first surfable window we can even consider is Monday the 10th, and even that's a grind.
Monday the 10th, we've got a drop of swell – only around 2.6ft from the west, with a short, weak period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNE, which will clean it up a bit. The energy is weak, reading just 92, so it's not going to be anything special. We'd normally say it's a knee-high dribbler for the foam board crew. There are a few other days that are technically 'surfable' – Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th have a bit more size, around 4.3ft from the WSW with a 10-second period and moderate energy in the low 300s. The winds aren't terrible, but it's all pretty marginal and the tide might not be playing ball. It’s not really a call to action.
Between the 14th and the 17th, it goes completely flat and mostly onshore. You're looking at a serious lull, maybe 3ft dropping down to 1ft. The winds pick up, and it's just a mess. This is a blank run you just have to wait out.
Then, here’s the interesting bit. It’s a long way out, but Tuesday the 18th looks like the energy really starts to build again. We see a jump in the combined energy, getting up to 747, with 6.9ft of west swell on the Tuesday morning. It’s still onshore and pretty raw, so not great. But the real standout, the one you should circle on the calendar, is Monday the 24th of August. That morning is looking like the best we’ve got on offer. The wind is forecast to be glassy from the north, and the swell is a solid 6.9ft from the west with a 10-second period. The energy is through the roof, reading a massive 1290. That’s strong, powerful surf. The water temp is around 57.9°, which is about normal for this time of year, so the 5/4 will feel fine.
That Monday the 24th could be as good as it gets all window. The west swell is exactly what The Maze wants. It’s a beach and point set-up, so a long-period swell like this one (even though it's just hitting 10 seconds, the energy is huge) could be firing, especially on the points. The glassy conditions will make it absolutely perfect.
Keep in mind, this is a long-range call, so don't book the ferry just yet. But if that forecast holds, it'll be worth the wait. The Saturday the 23rd also has some size and potential, but the cross-shore winds will make it messier. For now, we wait for that Monday. It’s going to be a long, flat grind to get there, but it could be a beauty.
That’s the outlook from The Maze. Stay stoked.
