The Lowdown
Alright lads, let’s talk about what’s in store for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first bit is a right gut punch. For about 14 days, from Friday the 11th right through to Thursday the 24th, it’s a write-off. The wind is just relentless, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore, and it’s chopping everything to bits. There are some big swells in there, but the wind is ruining the party.
There is one day that has me proper excited, though. The Maze (Tiree). This break is a mix of beach and point, wide open to the west, and that’s the direction we need.
The real standout is Saturday, the 26th of September. Now we’re talking. A massive 15ft swell is pushing in from the WSW with a very long period of 13 seconds – that’s deep ocean energy. The combined energy is a huge 7648, which is strong to very strong. For a wave that size, you’d expect chaos, but we’re getting a light breeze out of the NE, which is cross-offshore. That’ll groom the faces into something special. This is exceptional for experts only. If you’re not a big-wave surfer, stay on the sand. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so factor that in.
Before that, there’s a glimmer on Sunday the 14th with a 6ft swell, but it’s getting destroyed by 22 mph winds. Leave it.
So, for the next two weeks, it’s mostly a waiting game. But that last Saturday is looking like the kind of session you’ll remember. Keep an eye on it, but don’t book the trip just yet.
