The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are lookin’ pretty grim for a proper session. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, but let’s not get too down; the forecasts can always shift.

There’s nothing worthwhile on the cards for the first few days. We’re lookin’ at a real dry spell until we get to a small window of surfable, if ordinary, waves starting Sunday morning, the 16th of August, at The Maze (Tiree). Even then, it’s small and weak – just 3ft of swell from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a feeble 87, so it’s not gonna have any push. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the SE, keepin’ the surface clean, but the whole setup is merely ‘surfable’. It's not gonna get the heart racin’.

The afternoon of Sunday the 16th offers a sliver of hope with an offshore breeze from the East and clean conditions, but the wave height drops to 2ft and energy plummets to 53. It's small, clean, and very ordinary.

The rest of the forecast is a write-off. We see more poor surf, onshore winds, and a few days of straight-up messy conditions. There’s a big pulse of energy forecast for Friday the 21st of August – a raw 8ft swell from the West with a long 11-second period, and the energy reading jumps to a massive 2224. But don’t get stoked, because it’s also blowin’ a near gale from the SSE at 34 mph. That is not paddle-surf weather, it’s a washing machine. That kind of setup with a beach and point break would be far more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional paddle-in session. The same goes for the choppy days that follow – it’s just not on for us.

Basically, we’ve got a solid 16 days where there are no true standouts, just a few brief, peppercorn moments of clean but gutless surf. Hang in there.

A general guide to surfing at The Maze (Tiree) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Maze (Tiree) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
