The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the 16-day outlook for The Maze (Tiree).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The forecast shows a big hole right at the start with very little to get excited about. The first real chance for anything resembling a surfable wave doesn't roll in until Sunday morning the 2nd of August. So, we’re looking at a gap of a few days with zero recommendations.
The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, for that Sunday morning session. The swell is coming from the WNW at about 3ft with a period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak (126). The wind is light from the NNE, creating a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so temper your expectations. It's small, but it'll be clean. It’s a beach and point setup, so with the wind good, it might offer a few rideable lines.
After that, things go quiet again. The next few days drop right off into tiny waves with very weak energy, in the 20-50 range. The wind stays mostly cross-off or cross, but there's just no push.
We get a slight lift on the 12th of August (Wednesday) morning. A WNW swell at about 3ft with a 9-second period brings the energy up to a moderate 139. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the NNW, so it’ll be a little bumpy, but not a complete washout. This is the closest thing to a standout in the second week, but it's a very low bar.
Overall, this is a pretty barren outlook. The wind is often not doing us any favours, and the swell just isn't coming through. The only real window for a paddle is that clean but weak session on the 2nd of August. For the rest of the period, if you’ve got a kite, that might be more interesting than trying to wrestle a surfboard into this.
Rusty.
