The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for The Maze over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, this is a frustrating outlook. The Maze (Tiree) is picking up a lot of energy, but the wind is just ruining it for most of the period. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until the 16th of September, so we’ve got a solid two-week gap of nothing but poor conditions. That’s a tough stretch.
The water is sitting at 59°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t freeze your tail off if you do get out.
The only day that’s even worth a mention is Wednesday the 16th of September. The morning shows a solid 12ft swell from the WNW with a very long period of 13 seconds (groundswell). That’s some serious energy coming in – the combined energy is a huge 4323 (strong to very strong). That is a big, powerful swell. Now, the wind is a moderate cross-onshore from the NNW, which is far from ideal, but it’s the only moment in the whole forecast with a score above zero. This is a big, powerful groundswell – period over 15 seconds is very long, which means it’s going to be a bit shifty and is best suited for a point or a reef rather than the beach. The Maze being a beach and point setup, it could still work, but it’s for experts only at this size.
The afternoon is similar, 12ft with a 12-second period, but the wind stays cross-onshore from the NW. The quality is still marginal, but it’s the one and only window. If you’re a charger and the wind lays down a bit, you might score. For everyone else, it’s a blank run.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
