The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, it’s a grim run for The Maze (Tiree) for the next week and a half. The wind is hammering it from the wrong direction, or it’s onshore and messy. The swell is there, but it’s a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of nothing but poor surf conditions. The wind is howling from the west and south-west, mostly cross-on, with near-gale strength at times, and the waves are just blown out and lumpy. Not what you want to see.
Finally, the light at the end of the tunnel. The stand-out window is the morning of Saturday the 12th of September. That’s the one to circle. The wind drops right off, going glassy from the north-northeast at just 3 mph. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 59.0°F. The swell is a solid 5.9 ft from the west-northwest, with an 11-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, packing a punch with a combined energy of 763. The forecast says "expect very good surf conditions," and with that glassy surface, it’s going to be clean as a whistle. The swell direction is west-northwest, which is a good match for the optimum. Just be aware it can get a bit crowded here sometimes, so get in early. The rest of that Saturday is a step down in quality, and the following days are back to the wind mess, so that Saturday morning is your one real shot.

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.
