Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what The Maze (Tiree) has got cookin' for us. It's a bit of a slow burner this one, so don't rush.
Right off the bat, we're lookin' at a long, dry spell to start. From Saturday the 4th of July right through to Tuesday the 14th of July, it's a whole lot of nothing. The wind is just all wrong—howling onshore or cross-onshore, and that combo with a weak, short-period swell spells rotten, lumpy conditions. There’s a bit of wave energy around, *864* (moderate energy) on the Sunday, but it’s laughably messy. Don't even think about paddling out. That first week and a half is a total write-off. Even when the swell drops, the wind stays a problem. There’s a glimmer of clean, cross-offshore wind on the 9th and 10th, but the swell’s down to a tiny 3ft, barely worth the effort and still labelled as poor. It’s a frustrating wait.
Then, on Tuesday the 14th of July, it all changes. Morning session is the standout. The wind goes completely glassy – dead calm, zero knots – and that's a major, major positive for a spot that's normally getting hammered. We’ll have a clean, head-high swell at 6ft from the West, wrapping in with a 9-second period. The combined wave energy is hitting *875* (moderate energy), so there's a decent bit of push behind it. This is the one. The Maze is an exposed spot that picks up everything, and when it’s glassy like that, it can be really, really good. Expect crowds, though – it's a break that 'sometimes' gets busy, but on a day like this, everyone will be out. That afternoon the wind swings onshore again and the quality drops off, so get your fill in the morning.
The rest of the week after that Tuesday window is back to small and average. The swell fades fast, and the wind swings back around onshore or cross-shore, leaving us with knee-to-waist high leftovers. By the 19th, there's a weird little pulse of 6ft swell but with a terrible 7-second period and light cross-onshore wind. It's a "marginal" call at best, just not worth the drive.
So, to wrap it up: you wait ten days for a wave, and then you get one perfect morning. Be there at first light on Tuesday the 14th of July.
