The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for us.
First up, the water temperature at The Maze (Tiree) is sitting at 59°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus.
Now, the honest truth: the next week and a half is going to be a tough watch. The swell is here, but it’s not playing nice. We’ve got a nearly two-week stretch of poor surf conditions, with the combined energy of all swells directed here ranging from weak (162) up to very strong (2702), but the wind is just wrecking it. Strong cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, blown out – it’s a mess. The best of a bad lot looks like Sunday the 13th morning with a clean 5ft WNW swell and a gentle offshore wind, but it’s still only a small window with a long period (11 sec) groundswell that might be too straight for the beach setups here.
The wind stays brutal through the week, with the swell getting bigger but turning into a full-on washing machine. Thursday the 17th sees 10ft of W swell at 11 seconds, but it’s pounded by 19 mph onshore winds – that’s expert-only, and even then it’s rough. Saturday the 19th is even bigger, 12ft, but with the same cross-onshore mess.
Then, we finally get a standout. Mark your calendars for Sunday the 20th of September. The morning is the real deal. We’re looking at a massive 16ft WNW groundswell with a very long period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here hits a massive 8538. That’s exceptional surf for expert surfers. The wind is a light breeze from the SSE, cross-offshore, making it clean. The Maze (Tiree) is a beach and point break, and with such a long period groundswell, that point might just be the key to picking off the bombs. The swell is huge, so this is for the experienced crew only. The afternoon drops off a bit, still a solid 15ft but with a strong breeze, though it stays clean.
The following days see a drop back into the poor conditions cycle, with cross-onshore winds and lumpy seas. The standouts are painfully clear: Sunday the 20th morning is your best shot, and it’s a world-class window for the experts.
Rusty.
