Alright, Rusty here, and let's talk about what's happening at The Maze. It's a bit of a bleak picture for the next couple of weeks, I won't lie to you.
Starting off, the water temp is sitting right around 55°, which is bang on average for this time of year. No surprises there.
Now, for the surf... we're looking at a long stretch of nothing much. From the start on Tuesday the 7th right through to Saturday the 12th, it's mostly a write-off. The wind is a mess from the WSW and SSW, blowing cross-on or onshore at 12 to 16 mph, and the waves are all rated as "poor surf conditions." The swell is there – hitting 7ft on Tuesday morning with moderate energy – but it's just too messy to get excited about.
There is a little glimmer very early on Sunday the 12th. On Sunday morning, the wind swings around to a light NNE at 9 mph, and it's cross-offshore, leaving things clean. The swell drops right off though – only 2ft and weak. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. That tiny window fades fast, and it's back to poor conditions by the afternoon.
Then we hit a real flat spell. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th mornings are glassy with light easterly breezes, but the swell is tiny – 1ft and 2ft respectively. The Tuesday morning wave actually has a longer period of 11 seconds, hinting at some groundswell, and with that ESE glass, it could look pretty, but it's just too small to do much on.
The rest of the week into the weekend is similar. We get some clean conditions on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, but again, the swell is small and weak – under 3ft. There's a completely flat day on the 16th with only 0.7ft.
After that, the weekend of the 19th and into Monday the 20th shows a few bumpy options with onshore winds kicking up again, and the swell is still tiny. The only faint pulse is on Wednesday the 22nd, where we see a bit of WNW swell pushing 4ft to 5ft with moderate energy, but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, so the quality isn't there.
If I had to pick one moment where it's *almost* worth a look, it would be the early morning of Tuesday the 14th. It's glassy, with a very clean 2ft wave and a longer period. It's still a micro-swell, but if you're desperate and have a log, that's your best bet. For anything with a bit more juice, you're going to have to wait and hope the forecasts change. This is a tough run for The Maze.
