The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Look, I’ve had a good look at this run, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough one for The Maze (Tiree). The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for a decent paddle. There’s swell, sure, but the wind is just murder. We kick off Friday 24th July with a 6ft W swell at 8 seconds, but that’s coming with a 19 mph onshore W wind – the place is a mess. The combined wave energy is already at 439 (moderate) but it’s just no good.
Saturday 25th is the only real standout in terms of size, with an 8ft WNW swell hitting 1338 (strong) energy in the morning. But again, that’s with a 19 mph cross-onshore wind. 8ft is expert-only territory anyway, and with that wind, it’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. Not one for the quiver.
The rest of the first week sees the swell dropping from 6ft down to 2ft by Friday 31st, but it’s almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore, with winds from the SW and WSW. It stays “poor surf conditions” all the way through. We get a little gap of cleaner conditions from Sunday 2nd August onwards, but that’s because the swell has died – we’re talking 0.7ft to 1.0ft. That’s flat, mate.
There’s a tiny flicker on Wednesday 5th August morning – a 3ft NW swell with a light ENE breeze giving clean conditions, but the energy is only 98 (weak). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. After that, the wind cranks up again with near-gale force on the 6th and strong winds through to the 8th.
Honestly, there’s no single session I’d tell you to paddle out for. The one chance at a clean, surfable wave on the 5th is just too small to get excited about. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the wind doesn’t play ball. If you’ve got a kite, that 8ft day with strong cross-onshore might be interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.
