The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let me level with you: The Maze (Tiree) isn’t giving us anything good in this 16-day stretch. It’s a beach-and-point break that usually picks up west swell, but the conditions are just off. Water temp is 57°F – about normal for July – but that’s the only thing that’s average.
From July 14 through July 24, we’re stuck with tiny waves – mostly under 2 feet, with short periods (8–11 seconds). The combined wave energy is pitiful, often below 50. The wind is cross or cross-off, but it’s blowing 10–25 mph most days, so the surface is never clean. Scores are all zero or a flat “surfable but very ordinary.”
Then around July 25, a bigger swell shows up: 7 to 8 feet from the west at a long 12–13 seconds. That’s a real groundswell, but the wind is a strong cross-shore at 22 mph from the north-northwest. For a beach-and-point break, that long period can make the waves too straight, and with that wind, it’s just messy. The combined energy hits 1565 – strong, yes – but it’s not surfable. That size (over 8 feet) is experts-only anyway.
The last few days, July 27–29, the swell drops back to around 3 feet. July 28 morning is the only bright spot: glassy conditions with a light westerly, 3 feet west swell at 8 seconds. Combined energy is 151, still weak, but at least it’s clean. You might snag a couple of fun rides, but it’s no highlight. After that, it’s back to lumpy cross-shore wind.
The Maze is usually fairly consistent, but this run is a total blank. Don’t bother suiting up unless you see a big change in the forecast. It’ll turn around eventually.
Rusty.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
