The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. For the first several days, the wind is just relentless, hammering the coast from the wrong angle. We’re looking at a solid gap from now until about the 11th of August where conditions are just plain nasty – strong cross-onshore winds, messy, lumpy, blown-out. The swell is there, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The combined energy is moderate to strong (537 to 1469), but it’s all wasted on dirty, choppy faces. You’d be fighting a losing battle.
The first real window of hope comes on Tuesday the 11th of August. The wind finally swings around to a cross-offshore breeze from the southeast, cleaning things right up. The swell is small, only 2ft from the west with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (37), but it will be clean. By Wednesday morning the 12th, the swell picks up a bit to 4ft from the WSW, period stretches to 10 seconds, and with that clean cross-offshore wind, it’s the best on offer. The Maze (Tiree) will have some clean, lined-up waves, though the swell energy is still moderate (260). This is your standout for the first week.
The window closes again quickly. Thursday the 13th is marginal, and then Friday the 14th through to the 20th looks like another run of poor conditions with the wind swinging back onshore. The only other flicker of hope is way out on Tuesday the 18th of August. That morning, the wind goes light and cross-offshore again, making for clean conditions. The swell is 3ft from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (158). It’s surfable, but it’s nothing to write home about.
So, if you’re keen, aim for the 11th and 12th of August. That’s the pick of the litter. The rest is a write-off or a gamble.
Rusty.
