The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down The Maze (Tiree).

Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s a tough read. From now through the 29th of August, we’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions – messy chop, onshore wind, and tiny waves. The combined energy is barely there, stuck in the double digits (81, 42, 61), and the swell is under 3 ft for days. Nothing worth paddling for.

The first real chance pops up on Monday, the 24th of August. That morning brings a solid 5 ft swell out of the WNW with a nice 11-second period. The combined energy jumps to 504 (moderate wave energy). The wind is from the SSE, a clean cross-offshore breeze. Tuesday the 25th stays clean with that same wind, but the swell drops to just over 3 ft from the W with a 10-second period and energy around 214. That Monday morning looks like the only real window in that first week for a patient surfer.

After another quiet spell, the real standout for the whole 16-day window looks to be Wednesday, the 2nd of September, and Thursday, the 3rd of September. On Wednesday, we see 5 ft from the WSW, building to 6 ft in the afternoon. The energy reads at 410 and 565 (moderate wave energy) with a 9-10 second period. The wind is SSE and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. Thursday the 3rd is the one to circle. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft swell from the W, 10-second period, and the combined energy hits 832 (strong wave energy). The wind is light from the north, a cross-shore direction, so you’ll get clean surf with just a little texture on the surface. That’s the session right there – size and clean conditions. For most surfers, 7 ft is a fun size, but beginners should be wary.

Water temp is 59°F on that first Friday, with an anomaly of 1°F above average. So pretty normal for the season at The Maze.

To sum it up: plan for a rough week with almost nothing. Your target is Monday the 24th for a small clean window, and then the real action is on the 2nd and 3rd of September, with the 3rd being the big morning call. It’s a long way off, so stay tuned, but that’s the one.

Rusty.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
