Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening with The Maze over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – the start of this period is a write-off.

Right now and through the first few days, we’ve got a solid but messy swell rolling in. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th see a 6ft to 8ft swell from the WSW and W, but with a short period of 8 to 10 seconds and strong onshore to cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is moderate to strong (725 to 1774), but the quality is just poor – lumpy, choppy, and blown out. Not worth paddling out. Sunday the 5th and Monday the 6th look similar: still a 6ft to 7ft swell, still wind-affected and messy. Nothing to get excited about.

Tuesday the 7th drops right off – swell down to 4ft and the combined energy falls to 162-169, still with poor conditions. We get a tease on Wednesday the 8th afternoon when the wind goes glassy and the swell holds at 3ft. The energy is weak (138), but it’s surfable. Just very ordinary.

Now, Thursday the 9th is where things get interesting. This is the standout of the forecast. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the W with a long period of 10 seconds and a nice cross-offshore breeze from the SSE – that’s clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (223). It’s not huge, but The Maze is a beach and point setup, and that longer period groundswell will wrap in nicely with good shape. With light winds and clean surf, this morning session is the best we’re going to see for a while. Mind you, it’s “fairly consistent” and crowds are “sometimes” an issue here, so you might have some company.

Friday the 10th offers similar small 4ft swell with light cross-shore winds, but the conditions are more marginal. Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th are tiny – under 3ft, weak energy, just not worth it. There’s a brief blip Monday 13th with a 7ft swell from a long 11-second period and clean offshore winds, but the combined energy is strong (1029) and the forecast calls it marginal due to tide or conditions. That one could be a gamble for more experienced surfers, as it’s getting towards the bigger, more powerful end of the scale.

After that, the second week trails off into small, weak, and clean but unexciting surf. Nothing else really stands out as a must-surf session. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Alright, keep your eyes on that Thursday morning. It’s not a bomb, but it’s clean and it’s the closest we get to good surf in this run. Stay tuned, forecasts change.

Rusty.

Information about the The Maze (Tiree) Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for The Maze (Tiree) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Maze (Tiree) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Maze (Tiree) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Maze (Tiree)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Maze (Tiree) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
