The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at The Maze (Tiree).
To be honest, this 16-day stretch is looking pretty grim. There’s a long gap of poor conditions, and the first real chance doesn’t show up until the 9th of August. You’ll have to be patient.
The one standout, and the only time I’d get excited, is the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. The Maze is seeing a 5ft swell from the W, with a 9-second period. The wind is a light cross-shore from the NNW at 9 mph, keeping things clean. The combined swell energy is 346 (moderate to strong), so there’s some power. It’s a marginal call, but the wind is right. The afternoon cleans up even more with a glassy cross-shore from the NNW at 6 mph, but the swell drops to 4ft. Still, you’ll get some fun ones.
Before that, from the 3rd to the 8th of August, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. The wind is all over the place, and the swell just isn’t there. On the 7th, we get a pulse of 7ft from the WSW, but it’s accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds at 28 mph, making it a total mess. The 8th sees an 8ft swell from the WSW, but again, strong onshore winds will ruin it. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-in session.
From the 10th of August onward, it’s back to small, weak energy with poor conditions. The morning of the 14th looks interesting with glassy conditions and a 3ft swell from the WNW, but it’s only a 6-second period, so it’ll be soft and weak. The combined energy is only 52 (weak). Not a standout, but a possible dawny if you’re desperate.
So, to sum it up: hold out for the 9th of August. Sunday morning is your best shot for some clean, fun-size waves. The rest of the fortnight is a write-off for quality surf. Keep your eye on the forecast, though – it can change.

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.

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.
