The Lowdown
Alright lads, Rusty here. Let’s talk about The Maze (Tiree). It’s a classic exposed beach and point break, always hungry for a west swell, but the wind’s the real decider.
The water’s sitting around 59°F, which is about 2°F warmer than usual for this time of year. Bit of warmth in the water for ya.
The next few days are a write-off. From Thursday the 10th right through Saturday the 12th, it’s a mess. Strong cross-on winds and sloppy, blown-out surf. Big numbers on the swell but you wouldn’t want to paddle out.
The one real glimmer in the first week is Sunday morning, the 13th. The wind goes dead – glassy – and you’ve got a clean 4ft groundswell from the WNW with an 11-second interval. It’s got moderate energy (543), but that smooth surface will make it feel better. Get the dawn patrol, because the wind swings onshore by the arvo.
After that, it’s back to the grind. From Monday the 14th through most of the second week, it’s constant cross-on winds and lumpy, poor quality surf. There’s a monster swell on Monday the 23rd – a massive 21ft from the west with a 14-second period (15,187 combined energy) – but it’s just too big for this spot, even if the wind lays down.
The best hope for the second week is Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th. The wind shifts to a clean cross-off from the SSE and S, giving you proper clean waves. The swell is still chunky at 7ft to 10ft, and the energy is moderate (2294 and 1544). It’s a bit of a marginal call on the forecast, but with that clean, offshore breeze, it’s your best look for a decent session in the back half of the run. Keep in mind, The Maze can get busy, and with these clean windows, expect some company.
So here’s the skinny: the whole start is a dud. Sunday the 13th is your only real shot in the first week. The second week has a hope for the 24th and 25th, but that’s a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed.
Rusty.

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.

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.
