The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk The Maze (Tiree). It’s a frustrating stretch, I’ll tell ya. We’ve got some size rollin’ in from the west, which is what this break wants, but the wind is a real pain in the backside for most of it. Water temp’s about 58°F, nothing out of the ordinary for the season.

The first decent window ain’t until Friday, July 31st. After a whole string of onshore and cross-onshore junk, with swell even pushin’ over 8ft at times – that’s expert-only territory even if the wind was good, which it wasn’t – we finally get a morning of glass. The swell is a small 4ft from the WNW, with a short 6-second period, so it’s weak, combined energy is a measly 85. But it’s clean. That’s the only good thing I can say. Worth a paddle if you’re desperate.

The weekend is a right mess. Strong onshore winds, blown out.

Now, the one to really mark on your calendar is Tuesday, August 4th, in the morning. That’s your standout. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the WSW with a proper 9-second period, so the waves will have some shape. The wind is offshore from the East, light at 9 mph. It’ll be clean, lined up, and the combined energy is a solid 211. The Maze is fairly consistent and exposed, so when the stars align, it fires. That’s your session.

After that, the second week is a dud. Clean cross-off winds, but the swell is tiny – under 3ft, weak energy, and the period is all over the place. There’s a long 11-second period on August 10th, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s a flat calm.

So here’s the deal: ignore the first week, it’s mostly a write-off. The 31st of July gives you a tiny, clean window, but the real call is Tuesday the 4th of August. That’s your best bet by a country mile. The rest? Not much to write home about.

Rusty.
