The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for The Maze (Tiree).
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – for the next week and a bit, it’s a real struggle. There’s a long, dry gap with no worthwhile surf on offer. The first week is basically a write-off, with a lot of weak, short-period windswell and choppy, cross-shore winds. The water is sitting at 60°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s one small comfort if you’re just having a paddle.
We’ve got to wait all the way until Saturday the 25th of July for anything that even gets a second look. The morning of the 25th sees a jump in size to 8ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light and offshore at 3 mph, which is a massive positive. The combined swell energy is strong at 891, so there’s some real grunt behind it. That said, the size is getting up there – it’s going to be a big one. For a break like The Maze, a beach and point setup, it’s going to be a handful. The direction is NW, which is the optimum, and with that light offshore, it should be clean. But don’t think it’s for the faint-hearted; at over 8ft it’s only for experts. The afternoon looks like it gets blown out, so Saturday morning on the 25th is your one true standout.
After that, there’s a bit of a mess, with more onshore wind and choppy conditions. The surf stays around the 5ft to 6ft mark but it’s poor quality. The next sniff of something decent is right at the end of the run. Wednesday the 29th of July has a tiny 3ft of swell, but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNE at 9 mph. The energy is weak at 84, but it’ll be the cleanest you’ll see it all period. Thursday the 30th is also clean but tiny.
To be honest, outside of that Saturday morning burst, it’s a lean couple of weeks. The Maze can be a bit inconsistent, and this run proves it. If you’re itching for a wave, don’t hold your breath until the 25th.
Rusty.
