The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but we’re switching to feet and miles per hour. Let’s talk about The Maze (Tiree). The first week of this forecast is a total loss. From Monday the 14th right through to Sunday the 20th of September, it's just onshore gale-force winds and messy, unsurfable junk. A long, empty stretch.
Okay, the light at the end of the tunnel. Wednesday the 23rd of September is your first real chance. Clean conditions, light cross-offshore breeze from the southeast. The swell is a manageable 7ft from the west with a period around 10 seconds – not massive, but clean and rideable. Combined energy is moderate (962). Grab your funboard.
Now for the standout: Thursday the 24th of September. The afternoon is where it’s at. We’re talking a clean 12ft swell from the west, with a deep 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy reads strong (7418). Those long-period waves need structure to shine, and the reef and point setup at The Maze is perfect for it. This is serious wave height, well over 8ft, so experts only. The wind stays light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean as a whistle. This is your window.
After that, the weekend fades fast, with weaker, smaller waves and bumpy winds rolling back in by Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th. Make sure you’re on it for Thursday.
Rusty, signing off.

Information about the The Maze (Tiree) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Maze (Tiree) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Maze (Tiree) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Maze (Tiree) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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.
