The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for the Isle of Tiree.
Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the start of this outlook is a bit of a write-off. We're looking at a solid week of wind-ruined surf. From the 14th right through to the 22nd, The Maze is copping it from every angle. We've got fresh to near-gale winds whipping up the surface, turning what could be some decent-sized swells into a lumpy, choppy, cross-shore mess. The wave energy is there, sometimes moderate, sometimes strong (410 to 1695), but with those winds, it's just not worth paddling out for anything but frustration.
Now, after that rough patch, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Wednesday the 23rd of September is where we finally get our act together. The morning session at The Maze looks like the absolute standout of the whole 16-day run. We're looking at clean surf with a light offshore breeze from the east. The swell is a solid 8 ft from the west-southwest with a 9-second period. The energy is up there (1497) and conditions are set to be excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one you want to circle on your calendar. The afternoon cleans up a bit more with a cross-offshore wind, but the size drops a touch to 8 ft. Still a good option if you miss the morning glass.
After the 23rd, it all falls apart again pretty quickly. The 24th brings back the fresh onshore wind and lumpy conditions, and from the 25th onwards the swell just drops away. The 27th of September shows a bit of a weak, short-period swell from the north-northwest, but it's barely worth a mention. There's a long gap of very small or no surf after that.
So, to sum it up: a whole lot of nothing for the first week, one cracking day on the 23rd for the experienced crew, then back to quiet. Keep your fingers crossed those long-range forecasts stay good for that Wednesday.
Rusty.
