The Lowdown
Right then, folks. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim start. The Maze (Tiree) is staring down the barrel of a proper stormy spell. For the first week and a half, we’ve got brutal winds and messy, massive swell that is just blown to bits. There’s a lot of energy in the water, but it’s useless for a paddle. Monday the 7th, for example, sees a 15ft swell from the WSW with a 37 mph near gale slamming it onshore. That’s kite-surfing territory, not surf. The combined energy is a massive 5209, but it’s a total washout. You’d be mad to go out.
There’s a long, painful gap of nearly ten days where the surf is either too big, too windy, or both. You’ll be watching the forecast hoping it changes, because it’s not a good run.
Finally, things start to look up right at the end of the run. The 19th of September is the one to circle. Saturday morning, the wind swings light offshore from the east at just 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 6ft from the WNW with a solid 10-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 567. The water temp is 59°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a proper surf session.
Then Saturday afternoon gets even better – glassy conditions, a 6ft swell from the WNW, and the combined energy nudging up to 683. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. The Maze is a fairly consistent spot, but it’s exposed and can get crowded. With the wind going dead glassy, it’s going to be clean and lined up. The swell direction from the WNW is a good match for the optimum W direction, so the points should be working.
Sunday the 20th is also a cracker. Glassy again, flat calm in the morning, with a 5ft swell from the WNW and an 11-second period. The combined energy is 550. It’s a little smaller, but still a beautiful day for a paddle. This is the light at the end of the tunnel. A long wait, but it finally arrives.
Rusty.
