The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for The Maze over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch from Friday the 17th right through to the early hours of Friday the 24th of July where conditions are just poor. The wind is a constant problem, mostly howling from the north and messing up what little swell there is. You’re looking at a lot of lumpy, cross-chop and the wave energy is weak, with the combined energy only hitting 39 on Friday morning. It’s a real shame, because the water temp is 59° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be enjoying it.
Things start to get a little more interesting on Friday the 24th of July. The Maze (Tiree) sees a pulse of stronger swell. Friday afternoon brings a clean 6ft swell from the west with a light onshore breeze and the combined energy jumps to 505 – that’s a moderate punch. The water is still that touch warmer than normal. It’s only a marginal call, but it’s the first sign of life.
The standout window looks like it’s going to be Monday the 27th of July. The swell is solid, building to 8ft from the west with a long 11-second period. That’s groundswell, and it’s packing serious energy – the combined energy hits 2129. Now, that’s a big number, and it means this is only for experienced surfers; anything over 8ft is expert territory. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is a huge positive for keeping it clean. The break is a beach and point setup, but with that long period, the point will be holding it together nicely. The crowds are *sometimes* around, so you might have a few out, but with that size, it’ll spread out.
The rest of that week sees the swell hanging around in the 5ft to 7ft range, but the wind starts to get messy again from the north, so it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The best bet is the early part of Monday the 27th. The forecast is a ways out, so it’s promising but not locked in. Keep your fingers crossed for that light wind.
Rusty.
