The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over in that corner of the world. There’s an all-time groundswell coming, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story for a while.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at The Maze (Tiree) for a solid shot of swell, but you’ll want to pick your moments. This spot is a beach and point setup, exposed to the west, and when it’s clean, it can be magic. The water temp is running about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The week kicks off on Tuesday the 15th with a 6ft W swell, but a cross-on breeze from the WNW at 12 to 22 mph is going to have it chopped up. Combined energy is sitting at 1150 (moderate). Not worth paddling out in that mess.
Wednesday the 16th sees the swell push up to 7ft from the W with a period of 11 seconds, a classic groundswell. The morning has a light cross-on breeze that's still leaving a bit of texture for a marginal score of 3. Afternoon goes south with a fresh cross-on from the SW at 22 mph. That energy has jumped to 1017, but it’s lumpy.
Then things get gnarly. Thursday the 17th we get a spike to 12ft in the morning, with a near gale blowing 34 mph from the WSW right onshore. Combined energy rockets to 2501 (strong). In the afternoon it jumps to 15ft, 14-second period, from the W, with 31 mph onshore wind. That’s 7851 on the energy scale (very strong). That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s going to be a washing machine. Same story stretches through Friday the 18th and the weekend – big swell but strong winds making it unsurfable.
You’re looking at a long blank run here. It isn’t until Wednesday the 23rd that we get a real standout opportunity. The Maze cleans up nicely with an 12ft W swell at a 13-second period, and a gentle cross-shore breeze from the SSW at just 9 mph. Combined energy is 4263 (strong). It’s also a Wednesday, so the crowds are only sometimes an issue. This is the best bet of the whole run.
Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th are back to marginal or poor conditions with fresh onshore winds, but Saturday the 26th offers another clean window. A 4ft W swell with a 10-second period, combined energy of 279 (moderate), and a light cross-off breeze from the NNE. It’s small and clean, but nothin' special.
The last few days of the month drop off in size, and while the wind stays clean offshore, the swell fades, leaving very weak energy and only poor surf.
So, if you’re looking for surf, circle Wednesday the 23rd on your calendar. That big clean groundswell with light winds is the one.
Rusty.
