The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, let's talk about the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a rough patch, to be honest. The only break in the game is The Maze over on the Isle of Tiree, and it's a tough run.
The swell was looking okay to start, with a moderate 251 combined energy on Saturday the 15th, pushing a 5ft W swell, but it was straight onshore, a solid 16 mph wind from the west. The water temp is sitting at 59°, which is about normal for this time of year, but the wind was just ruining it. That combo of swell and wind kept the score at a flat zero through the whole first week. Sunday the 16th saw a drop in size to 2ft, and though the wind clocked around to a cross-offshore on Monday morning, the swell was just too small at 3ft to get excited about.
Tuesday the 18th brought the wind back hard from the west at 19 mph, straight onshore. By Wednesday the 19th, the swell was a solid 6ft from the west with a 9-second period, and the combined energy shot up to 522. That's a lot of energy, but it was all wind-chop, fresh cross-onshore and lumpy. It looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers, to be honest.
Thursday the 20th was the best of a bad lot. The wind was a strong 22 mph from the north, but it was a cross-offshore direction, and the swell was a clean 5ft from the west with a 10-second period and 417 energy. It was clean, but that wind is howling, and it's a beach and point setup, so it'll be a battle. Crowds are possible here, but with conditions like this, I doubt many will be out.
After that, it all fades to nothing. From Friday the 21st right through to the end of the month, we're looking at tiny waves, with the swell dropping to 1ft and basically no energy. There's a long gap of dead flat surf from the 21st of August all the way through. Saturday the 30th of August shows a tiny pulse of 3ft with a moderate 74 energy, but the wind is straight onshore again. It's a blank run, and for a spot like The Maze, that's not too unusual this time of year. I’d keep an eye on the forecasts, but it’s not looking to change for the better anytime soon.
Rusty.
