The Lowdown
Right, gather round, lads and lassies. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the Inner Hebrides. To be honest, it’s a bit of a grim tale for The Maze (Tiree) over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long, long gap with nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t be in a rush.
The first hint of something that isn’t completely flat comes on Sunday the 30th of August. Even then, it’s a struggle. We’re talking a tiny 3 ft of swell from the WSW, and the energy is still weak at 131 – barely a ripple. It’s clean though, with a gentle cross-off breeze, so you might get a few knee-slappers if you’re desperate. But “ordinary conditions” is being kind.
Then things turn proper wild. From Monday the 31st, the wind howls in from the west. By Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell jumps to 6 ft from the west, but with a fresh onshore gale, it’s just a washing machine. Energy is 764, but you won’t care when you’re getting sandblasted. It gets even bigger on Wednesday the 3rd of September – 10 ft of west swell with an 11-second period. That’s a lot of power (2513) and way too big for anyone but experts, and even then, the wind is straight onshore. The whole first week of September is a write-off for a decent paddle.
The second week isn’t any kinder, I’m afraid. The wind keeps hammering from the west, keeping everything onshore and messy. There’s a moment on Thursday the 10th of September where it cleans up a bit. We get 8 ft from the NNW with a moderate cross-off breeze. The energy is still a chunky 842, so the swell is there, and it’s clean, but the forecast is only marginal. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and without much push. It’s an option if you’re a charger.
The only other glimmer is right at the very end of the run, on Saturday the 12th of September. It’s tiny – just 2 ft from the NW – but the wind goes completely glassy. The energy is a pathetic 49, but for a few precious moments, the ocean will be like a sheet of glass. You’ll be on a longboard, maybe just enjoying the peace after all the mayhem.
So, the honest truth? There’s not one standout day in this whole 16-day window for the Maze. The best of a bad bunch is that Thursday the 10th for the bigger, cleaner waves, and the Saturday the 12th for a glassy, tiny longboard session. For the rest, it’s either flat, onshore, or blowing a full gale.
Rusty.
