The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way at The Maze (Tiree).
Honestly, it's a rough start. For the next week and a half, we're looking at a messy picture. There's plenty of swell, but the wind is just relentless. The first real shot of something you'd even consider paddling out for doesn't show up until Sunday the 13th, and even then it's a real question mark. That's a solid gap of four days from now with nothing worth the effort.
Tuesday 8th through Monday 14th September: The island is getting hammered by strong to near-gale winds, mostly cross-onshore, turning a solid 7ft to 12ft W-NW swell into a complete washing machine. The water is sitting at 59°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but you wouldn't notice it in that wind. This setup looks far more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Sunday 13th September: Things finally relax a little. The morning shows a drop to 4ft of WNW groundswell with a 11-second period and light offshore winds from the WSW. It’s marginal at best, so don't get your hopes up too high, but it's the first window with any kind of potential for a clean, workable wave.
Monday 14th September: We're back into a strong breeze and messy conditions. A nearly 8ft SW swell gets chopped up. Not good.
The Standout – Wednesday 23rd September: This is a *long way off*, but you’d be daft to ignore it. The forecast shows a big pulse of long-period groundswell from the WNW. We're talking 10ft of swell with a period of 15 seconds, and a massive amount of energy behind it. This is proper, heavy water. At that size, it's strictly for experienced surfers only. The wind isn't perfect, predicted to be a fresh cross-onshore from the NNW, which will leave it a bit lumpy, but with that much juice and a very long period, the Maze's reef and point setup should focus that energy into some serious, powerful lines. It's the only real standout in the whole 16-day run, even if it's a gamble being so far out. Let's hope the wind trends better as we get closer.
Stay safe,
Rusty
