The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been pouring over the charts for The Maze (Tiree) and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a lean stretch. We’ve got a full 16-day window, but the first five days are pretty much dead. There’s a big gap from the start right through to Friday the 7th where the surf is barely worth a look. After that, a few windows open up, but it’s mostly marginal.
The Maze is a fairly consistent beach and point break, exposed to the west. For the first few days we’re looking at tiny, weak swell with onshore or cross-off winds. Just not happening.
The first real pulse shows up Friday afternoon, August 7th. Swell hits 6ft out of the west, combined energy at 432 (moderate energy). But the wind is straight onshore at 6 mph, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Marginal at best.
Saturday August 8th is your best early bet. Morning brings 5ft west swell, 8-second period, energy at 301 (moderate energy). Wind is cross-off from the SSE at 9 mph, so it’s clean. That’s rideable. Afternoon holds around 6ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and you’ll get some ripples.
Sunday August 9th starts off glassy in the morning with 4ft west swell and 142 combined energy. That’s a rare moment of glass—clean waves, no wind. It’s small, but that’s the best conditions of the whole run. Afternoon the wind goes cross-on and the swell bumps to 5ft, but the quality drops.
Monday August 10th has a similar deal: 5ft west swell in the morning, energy at 247 (moderate), but the wind is light cross-on. Surfable but ordinary.
From the 11th onward, it all falls apart. Swell drops under 3ft, winds get strong onshore or cross-on, and energy levels are in the double digits. Nothing worth chasing.
If I had to pick one standout, it’s Sunday morning August 9th. That glassy morning with 4ft west swell is as good as it gets—clean, quiet, and enough for a longboard. Saturday morning August 8th is your next best, with cleaner conditions and a bit more size. Don’t expect any heroes out there.
Water temp is about average for this time of year. And The Maze can see a crowd sometimes, but with this surf, it won’t be busy.
That’s the long and short of it. A couple of windows to get wet, but nothing to write home about.
Rusty.
