The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s in store for the Maze (Tiree) over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid stretch of poor conditions from the 7th all the way through to the morning of the 15th. That’s a long, frustrating gap. The swell is there, but the wind is just murdering it. Strong cross-onshore and cross-shore winds from the SW and S are blowing those 8 to 8ft waves into a total mess. Even when the wind goes offshore on the 9th, the surf quality is still poor. It’s just not happening.
Things finally start to breathe a little on the afternoon of Saturday the 15th. The wind drops to a light breeze from the SE, going cross-offshore, and the waves clean up. It’s only small – about 3ft from the WSW – but it’s surfable. The morning of the 16th is similar, and then the afternoon of the 16th is the first real highlight. We get a light offshore breeze from the East, 4ft of swell from the West. It’s clean, it’s small, but it’s a wave. This is the best on offer in the first half of the outlook.
The 17th brings a bit more size, with 6ft from the NW, but the wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it’s messy. Not a standout.
Now, hold on to your board shorts, because the end of the outlook is where it gets interesting. The 20th of August is looking like the real deal. Thursday morning has a clean 8ft of West swell with a 10-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze from the WNW. This is proper groundswell, and for a spot like the Maze that’s a mix of beach and point, that offshore wind is going to be magic. The afternoon is a bit more cross-shore, but still a solid 8ft. This is the standout session – it’s for experienced surfers at that size, but the potential is huge.
The 21st is a bit of a wildcard. We’ve got 7ft of West swell, but a fresh breeze from the SSE making it cross-offshore. It’s a promising but less certain option if you’re looking to escape the crowds.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so a 3/2mm wetsuit will be your friend.
Stay safe, and don’t let the early flat spell get you down. The 20th is the one to circle.
Rusty.
