The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, let’s talk about The Maze (Tiree) in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty bleak picture for the first week and a half. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap of junk surf to sit through before anything even looks like it might be worth a paddle. The wind just won’t play ball.
The first real chance of something half-decent doesn’t come until Saturday the 15th of August. After days of cross-offshores and choppy crap, the afternoon at The Maze finally goes glassy. The swell is tiny, only about 2ft from the west, so it won't be any kind of hero session, but the clean, glassy surface means you can at least get a few little ones without getting blown off your board. It’s just ordinary conditions, nothing to write home about, but it’s the only hint of a surfable moment in ages.
Then, hold on, there’s a proper wild card on Thursday the 20th of August. The afternoon brings a solid 8ft swell from the west-northwest with a clean, strong offshore wind from the east at about 25 mph. That is big, expert-level stuff, and with a period of 8 seconds it’s not a long-period groundswell, so it’s going to be a lumpy, powerful beast. The offshore wind will make the faces clean as a whistle, but paddling into that much closeout power will be a mission even for the lads who know what they’re doing. This is the one standout, but it’s for the brave only.
So, to sum it up: the whole first week is a total write-off. The 15th gives you a tiny, glassy crumb to enjoy, but the real, heavy-hitting, only-for-the-experts session is that Thursday the 20th if the long-range forecast holds.
Rusty.
