The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the cards. First up, the water temp is sittin' at 59°F – that's about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises there.
Lookin' at The Maze on Tiree. It's not gonna be a complete write-off, but honest to god, it's a bit of a slog to find a decent window. We've got a bit of a wait on our hands.
Wednesday the 19th of August shows a bit of life – a 6ft swell from the west with a 10-second period, givin' us moderate wave energy (702). But the wind is a cross-shore, so it'll be a bit bumpy and messy. It's there, but it's not gonna be the clean session you're dreamin' of.
Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st? Absolute no-go. Strong winds from the north and a short-period windswell have turned it into a choppy, lumpy mess. The wave energy drops right off too – 337 and then just 60 by Friday.
We get a bit of a lull through the weekend into Monday the 24th. That's when things start to look a little more promising. The mornin' has a 5ft west-northwest swell, a nice 11-second groundswell period givin' us a solid (569) energy reading. Better yet, the wind is cross-offshore, which should keep things clean. That Monday afternoon is also a contender with similar conditions. That's probably your best bet in the whole 16 days. The Maze can get busy when it's good, so expect some company.
Then we get a few more okay slots around the 25th, with a 4ft west-southwest swell and light offshore winds on the Tuesday afternoon. But after that, it's back to onshore winds and junk for days. We get a bit of size again on the 31st of August – a 5ft westerly – but it's cross-onshore and choppy, so the quality won't be there.
Honestly, for this stretch, focus on Monday the 24th. That's the standout. The rest is a case of pickin' through the scraps.

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.
