The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for The Maze (Tiree).

It’s a tough start, I’m not gonna lie. For the first week and a half, from Friday the 11th right the way through to Sunday the 20th, we’re looking at a proper blank run. The swell is on and off, but the wind is just howling onshore or cross-onshore nearly every session, trashing any chance of a clean wave. We’re talking strong breezes and near gales, with the sea state described as messy or choppy. There are a few days where the swell builds – like Saturday the 12th with a solid 12ft groundswell from the west at 11 seconds – but with 19 mph onshore wind, it’s a complete write-off for a paddle board. You’d be better off with a kite that day. The combined wave energy hits a massive 5685, but with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. This poor run lasts a full nine days. Water temp is currently running at about 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year around here – no major shock to the system.

Now, after that grim stretch, things start to look up. The real standout is Monday the 21st. We’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the WNW rolling in with a 12-second period, and the wind finally plays ball – light and cross-offshore from the NNE at just 6 mph. The wave energy sits at a solid 1217, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That’s your session. With the swell over 8ft on the Tuesday, it pushes into expert-only territory, but Monday is the pick for anyone who can handle a bit of size. The only bummer is that at The Maze, which is a beach and point setup, a long-period groundswell like this can sometimes race down the line a bit fast at the beach breaks, but the point should do the job perfectly.

Tuesday the 22nd is also an absolute beast for the experts. We're seeing a 13ft swell from the west with a very long 13-second period, and clean cross-offshore breezes from the SSE. The combined energy is a massive 7270, which is serious power. It’s rated as a marginal forecast due to the size and maybe tricky tides, but for the right surfer on a big board, this is the heavy stuff. Just be aware, with crowds listed as “sometimes” at The Maze, you might have a few other keen souls out there for this.

The final few days from the 24th drop off again with onshore winds, but honestly, the real window is that Monday the 21st and Tuesday the 22nd. Get on it.
