The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The Maze (Tiree) is the only spot on the radar, and to be honest, it’s a real mixed bag. We’ve got some size coming through, but the wind is the main character in this story, and it’s not always playing nice. The water temp is sitting at 58°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing to complain about there.
The first proper surf window looks like it might show up on Friday the 24th. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the W with a 9-second period, but the wind is on it from the WSW at 19 mph, which is gonna make it messy. The combined energy is moderate though (435). Saturday the 25th sees the biggest swell of the period, 8ft from the WNW with a 10-second period (energy 1218), but again, the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph. That’s going to be lumpy and hard work. At 8ft, that’s expert territory, but the wind is going to be a real battle. The Sunday morning (26th) might be the most realistic option with a 5ft swell from the WNW and a gentler breeze at 9 mph, but it’s still cross-onshore, so expect it to be choppy.
Things get a bit more interesting later on. The morning of Thursday the 30th of July has a 4ft W swell with a 9-second period, and the wind turns light cross-off from the S at 16 mph. The report says clean, and the energy is moderate (266). That’s the best call in the whole run. The break is a beach and point setup, so it can work, and it’s fairly consistent. The optimum swell is from the W, and that’s what we’re getting. Crowds are a possibility here, so you might have some company. That morning is the standout.
The following week is a write-off for the most part. The wind is either too strong or from the wrong direction, and the swell sizes drop right off. There’s a clean spell on the 3rd and 4th of August with 3ft to 4ft swell from the W, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so the waves will be weak and without much push. The energy is low (162). It’s paddleable, but it’s not going to be memorable.
To be honest, for a surfer looking for something classic, the pick of the days is the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. That clean cross-off wind and a solid 4ft groundswell from the west should produce some clean, rideable lines at The Maze. It’s the only time in the whole 16 days where the wind and swell line up properly. Everything else is either too windy, too small, or both.
