The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna break down the next couple of weeks for us, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim picture for the most part.
We’re looking at The Maze on Tiree, and honestly, the forecast is a real heartbreaker. The energy is there, but the wind just won't play ball. For the first ten days, it’s a write-off. From Friday the 24th of July right through to Wednesday the 30th, we’re battered by onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly strong, with a constant “poor surf conditions” tag. The swell is decent in size, hitting 10ft on Saturday morning with a combined energy of 1433, but it’s a total washing machine with that 22 mph cross-onshore. That’s expert-only, big, lumpy, and blown-out. Not worth a paddle. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no drama there.
Things finally start to turn on Thursday the 30th of July. We get a window of light offshore winds from the ESE, and the swell drops right down to almost nothing, with energy down to 55. It’s clean, but it’s tiny – 2ft with a short period. You’ll get a few knee-high sliders, but it’s a long wait for a crumbly one. That calm spell continues through Friday, but the swell is even smaller. By Saturday the 1st of August, the energy picks up a bit (330), but we’re back into a cross-offshore breeze that’s too strong for the tiny waves.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze, but the afternoon turns glassy with a perfect offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph. The swell is 3ft from the WSW with a 10-second period. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest surf in the entire 16-day window. The water is still calm, and you might get a few fun waist-high lefts at the point. The combined energy is 148, so it’s weak, but the quality of the conditions is the best we’ll see. The Maze is fairly consistent, and it’s a point break, so that long-period swell (10 secs) will wrap in nicely. Keep an eye out for crowds, though – it can get busy when it’s the only game in town.
After that, it’s back to bleakness. The week of the 3rd of August sees the wind swinging onshore or cross-shore again, and the swell completely dies. By the 7th and 8th of August, we’re looking at tiny, wind-affected junk. A real tough run for the island.
Rusty.
