The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for The Maze (Tiree). It’s a beach and point setup that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the west, and likes the swell coming from the west. We’ve got a bit of a wait ahead, though.
The first real sign of life doesn’t pop up until Sunday afternoon, the 2nd of August. Even then, it’s just a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds, and the energy is weak (87). The wind goes glassy though, so it’ll be clean but tiny. That’s the start of a long, dry spell, I’m afraid. From Monday the 3rd right through to Saturday the 8th, it’s a real struggle. We’ve got a few days of light rain and onshore or cross-shore winds, with swell hanging around the 0.7ft to 3ft mark. The wave energy is barely registering (down to 20 or 14). It’s a grim stretch for a paddle.
Now, hold onto your leash. The standout window begins on Sunday morning the 9th of August. The clouds clear, the wind goes glassy, and we get a clean 4ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 205. That’s our first real, clean surfable day. The wind is dead calm, so expect clean, glassy faces. This is a good one.
The best of the whole run, though, is Monday the 10th of August. The Maze is looking like a dream. The morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SE, which will groom those waves perfectly. The combined energy is a strong 683. That’s the real deal. This is a standout for a decent-sized, clean, west swell.
Tuesday the 11th gets messy with a strong SSE wind, and Wednesday the 12th brings a bigger 7ft to 7ft swell from the WNW and NW, but with a short period of 7 seconds and cross-shore winds. The energy is moderate (432-480), but it’s not clean. That’s more for the experts only, and the wind will mess it up. The rest of the fortnight into the 16th is just howling wind and small, messy swell. Not worth talking about.
So, the call is clear: Sunday morning the 9th is a charming, glassy day. But Monday the 10th is the big one—a solid, clean, 6ft west swell with light cross-offshore wind. That’s the day to call in sick for.
Rusty.
