The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Well, it’s a bit of a tough watch for the next couple of weeks on Tiree, to be honest. The Maze (Tiree) is our only real option on the table, and, well… there’s a lot of waiting involved.
We kick off Monday the 3rd of August with nothing but small, messy dribble. That sets the tone. For the best part of the first week, it's small, onshore, or just plain blown out. There’s a proper tease on Wednesday the 5th morning – we get a glassy 3ft westerly swell with just a slight air, but the period is a short 7 seconds, meaning waist-high slop at best. It’s surfable, but you’d be scratching your head for a real wave.
Then things get heavy, but in the worst way. From Friday the 7th through to the weekend we see a surge in swell height, hitting 8ft by Saturday morning the 8th from the WSW with a combined energy of 1151. That’s proper power, but the wind is howling onshore or straight on, with speeds up to 31 mph. That’s a near gale. This isn't a surf forecast; it’s a kite-foiling and storm-watching forecast. The wave quality is just blown out and dangerous – only for the absolute nutters on big gear, if anyone at all.
Finally, the tail end of the weekend offers a glimmer. Sunday the 9th afternoon shows a drop to 6ft west swell with a workable 9-second period and the wind easing to a light breeze onshore. Combined energy is still a solid 582, so there’s push. It’s labelled as marginal, but that’s honestly the only window all week that might hold a DOH wave for a confident local.
Then it’s a long, flat gap. From Monday the 10th through to about Friday the 14th, we’re back to knee-to-waist high slop with no energy. The following Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th bring a pulse of NW swell around 5ft, but again it’s getting hammered by onshore wind. The last real hope is Tuesday the 18th afternoon – a 5ft WNW groundswell with a 9-second period, hitting a combined energy of 964. The wind is cross-onshore and moderate, so it’ll be lumpy and choppy, but that’s the biggest, most powerful swell of the entire run. If you’re desperate and the wind shifts, that’s your one last shout.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout. The best on offer is probably that Sunday the 9th afternoon session for a brief, cleaner window of decent-sized waves, or the Tuesday the 18th if you can handle the mess. It’s a long dry spell for Tiree, which happens. Forecasts change, but right now, don't get your hopes up.
Rusty.
