The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Tiree.
First up, we’ve got a patchy run ahead. The start of the period is a write-off with strong winds and messy conditions, so don’t bother paddling out until we get a window. The first real glimmer of hope is Wednesday afternoon, 29th July. The Maze (Tiree) is showing a small 4ft swell from the W with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind drops to glassy. That’s surfable but very ordinary, with the combined energy only at 142 (weak). It’s better than the junk before it, but not worth getting excited about.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a grind. There’s a long stretch of poor surf, with strong cross-off winds and tiny waves. The best of a bad lot might be the morning of Saturday, 8th August. The swell picks up to 8ft from the W with a 9-second period, and the combined energy hits 1189 (strong). The wind is light and cross-shore, so it might clean up. But that’s a big swell – over 8ft means it’s strictly for experts. It’s also a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
The Maze is a beach-and-point setup, exposed to the W, with an optimum swell from the W, so the direction suits it. Crowds are sometimes, so you might have it to yourself on a weekday. For the rest of the window, it’s mostly small, weak, or blown out. If you’re a kite surfer, the big wind days on the 7th and 10th of August with 6ft to 6ft swells and strong cross-shore winds might look more interesting than paddle surfing.
Rusty.
