The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s cooking for The Maze (Tiree).
Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but grovelly, wind-affected slop. From Wednesday the 12th right through to the morning of Monday the 18th, the conditions are just not playing ball. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore with a cross-chop, and the swell is weak and short-period. The only real action is a bit of a cross-off breeze on Wednesday and Thursday morning, but the wave energy is still low, with the combined energy of all swells sitting at a mediocre 307. The water temperature is 58°F, which is about average for this time of year.
But then, hold onto your board shorts, because things get interesting. The standout window is Wednesday the 19th. We’ve got a solid 13ft swell rolling in from the west-northwest with a 11-second period. That’s a lot of juice, and the combined energy of all swells is a massive 3897. The wind is a clean cross-off from the north-northeast. This is proper, groundswell-driven surf. However, at 13ft, this is strictly for the experts – it’s going to be big and powerful. For a spot like The Maze, which is a beach and point setup, that long-period west swell should wrap in nicely, but it’s going to be a heavy one. Expect excellent shape but don’t even think about paddling out unless you know what you’re doing. The morning and afternoon both look solid.
After that, the swell drops back down quickly. Thursday the 20th still has some size at 6ft and clean conditions, but the energy is way down. The rest of the month settles back into small, ordinary surf with onshore winds, so don’t get your hopes up for the second week.
If you’re an expert looking for a big-hit day, circle Wednesday the 19th on your calendar. The rest of us will be waiting for the next proper swell.
Rusty.
