The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Look, I’ve had a good look at this run, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough one for The Maze (Tiree). The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for a decent paddle. There’s swell, sure, but the wind is just murder. We kick off Friday 24th July with a 6ft W swell at 8 seconds, but that’s coming with a 19 mph onshore W wind – the place is a mess. The combined wave energy is already at 439 (moderate) but it’s just no good.
Saturday 25th is the only real standout in terms of size, with an 8ft WNW swell hitting 1338 (strong) energy in the morning. But again, that’s with a 19 mph cross-onshore wind. 8ft is expert-only territory anyway, and with that wind, it’s going to be a lumpy, blown-out mess. Not one for the quiver.
The rest of the first week sees the swell dropping from 6ft down to 2ft by Friday 31st, but it’s almost constantly cross-onshore or onshore, with winds from the SW and WSW. It stays “poor surf conditions” all the way through. We get a little gap of cleaner conditions from Sunday 2nd August onwards, but that’s because the swell has died – we’re talking 0.7ft to 1.0ft. That’s flat, mate.
There’s a tiny flicker on Wednesday 5th August morning – a 3ft NW swell with a light ENE breeze giving clean conditions, but the energy is only 98 (weak). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. After that, the wind cranks up again with near-gale force on the 6th and strong winds through to the 8th.
Honestly, there’s no single session I’d tell you to paddle out for. The one chance at a clean, surfable wave on the 5th is just too small to get excited about. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the wind doesn’t play ball. If you’ve got a kite, that 8ft day with strong cross-onshore might be interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.

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. 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.
