The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about The Maze (Tiree) in feet and miles.
Honestly, it’s a tough outlook. From Friday the 14th all the way through Sunday the 23rd, it’s all "poor surf conditions" with a zero score. That’s a solid ten days of junk. The wind is mostly onshore or messy cross-shore, and the swell is either weak or bad. Water temp on Friday morning was 59°, which is about normal for the time of year.
There’s a big pulse of energy coming on Tuesday the 18th – we’re talking 13ft of west swell at 11 seconds, with combined energy at 3937. That’s serious power, but the wind is screaming from the west at 25 mph, so it’s going to be a complete mess. Only for the experienced folks, and even then, it won’t be clean.
The only real light is right at the end. On Friday the 28th morning, we’ve got a 10ft west-southwest groundswell with a 13-second period – that’s long-period, so it’ll have proper shape and punch. The wind is off from the north-northeast at 12 mph, which is cross-offshore and means clean faces. Combined energy is 2792 (very strong). That’s your standout session at The Maze (Tiree). The break is exposed to west swell, and this direction is a good match. Just keep in mind the forecast says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions", so you’ll want to check the tide. It’s fairly consistent, and crowds can show up sometimes.
Saturday the 29th morning is still okay: 6ft of west swell at 11 seconds, with light north-northwest winds at 6 mph. Clean waves, moderate energy (898), but not as good as Friday morning.
So, bottom line: avoid the first ten days. Your best chance for a proper session is Friday the 28th morning. Saturday the 29th morning is a solid backup.
Rusty.
