The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for The Maze (Tiree) and honestly, it’s a bit of a grim outlook for the next 16 days. We’re not talking about a total flat spell, but the wind is just going to be a nightmare for most of it, leaving us with very few windows of clean, rideable surf.
Let’s get the good news out of the way first. The start of the run is the only real chance we get. Wednesday morning the 26th it’s small, with waves around 2ft from the west, but the easterly wind is blowing offshore, keeping things clean. The combined swell energy is a weak 52, so it’s not going to have much punch, but it’s surfable. Thursday morning the 27th is another little window with similar 2ft west swell and a light offshore breeze. The water temperature is sitting at 59°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year, so nothing too unusual there.
After that, things go downhill fast. We have a massive gap from Friday the 28th of August all the way through to Tuesday the 8th of September where the conditions are just plain poor. The wind swings around and gets strong, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just ruining any chance of a decent wave. There’s a big pulse of swell that comes through, but it’s all wind-blown junk. For instance, on Saturday the 5th of September, we’re looking at a massive 16ft west swell, with energy ratings hitting a monstrous 7229, but it’s blowing onshore at 22 mph. That’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s. The surf quality is just zero during this stretch.
Eventually, the wind does calm down. Tuesday the 8th of September morning offers a glassy, dead-calm session with a tiny 2ft west swell. It’s clean, but it’s barely a wave. The energy is a weak 55. That’s it for the standouts, if you can even call it that.
The rest of the forecast period into the second week is more of the same: strong winds and messy, blown-out surf. There’s a 8ft swell on Thursday the 10th of September, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. Honestly, this is a rare period of extended poor conditions for The Maze. It’s a fairly consistent spot normally, so this blank run is a bit of an anomaly. I’d keep an eye on it, because forecasts can change, but for now, don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
