The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s comin’ down the line for The Maze (Tiree). This spot’s a beach and point setup, exposed to the west, and it takes a good W swell to get it goin’.
Truth be told, it’s a bit of a rough start. We’ve got a whole heap of strong cross-onshore winds blowin’ through the first few days, and the surf is just a mess. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are write-offs with strong winds and poor surf. We do see a bit of a clean-up on Sunday the 9th with W winds goin’ onshore, but the conditions are still called “poor surf conditions” – just not worth paddlin’ out. That pretty much carries on through the whole first week and into the second; it’s a long stretch of nothing special. The water temp is around 58°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze your toes off waitin’.
Honestly, the real standout, the one to get excited about, doesn’t show up until Friday the 21st of August. That morning we’ve got a clean 7 ft swell from the WNW with a light breeze and clean conditions. The wave energy is solid at 692, so there’s some proper push behind it. By the afternoon, the wind goes light offshore from the east, which is exactly what you want for The Maze. It’s a bit of a long wait, but that Friday is the one – it’s the only true highlight in the whole 16-day window. Before that, there’s really nothing worth gettin’ wet for.
The Maze can be a bit of a fickle one, and a blank run like this isn’t unheard of for the area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, things can change, but for now, you’re waitin’ ’til the 21st.
