The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let's break down the outlook for The Maze (Tiree). I've got to be honest, it's a rough 16-day stretch. We're looking at over a week of nothing but messy, wind-blown conditions before the first real chance of a wave shows up on Wednesday, July 29th. The wind is the main problem – it's constantly howling from the north and northwest, keeping the place choppy. There's a big pulse of swell on July 24th, with waves up to 8ft and a combined energy of 1282, but it's hammered by a strong onshore wind. That setup looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
The only real window to get excited about is that Wednesday, July 29th. We've got a 5ft west swell with a 10-second period, which means decent shape. The wind swings to the south, giving us a clean offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (647). The crowd is listed as "sometimes," so you might bump into a few others, but it won't be packed. After that, the wind turns nasty again, so you'll want to be in the water that morning.
The days before that, like the 28th and 29th, have some swell but the wind is onshore and the quality is poor. The water temp is about average for this time of year. So, save your energy for the 29th, but don't expect much else. The rest of the forecast is a washout.
Rusty.
