The Lowdown
Right, let’s be honest about The Maze (Tiree) then, folks. It’s a rough start to the run, I’m not gonna lie. There’s plenty of ocean energy out there, but the wind is just going to ruin it for the first week. Thursday the 6th is a total loss, tiny and cross-shore. Friday the 7th brings a proper push of swell up to 7ft, but that southwest wind is screaming at 28 mph, making it a complete washout. The wave energy is strong, hitting 634 on Friday morning and up to 1291 by the afternoon, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. Saturday the 8th is more of the same, with energy readings of 1560, but again, it’s blown to bits.
There is a brief window on Monday the 10th. The swell drops right off to under 3ft, but the wind goes light, and the afternoon is looking glassy. It’s small, maybe 3ft, and weak energy at 96, but it’ll be clean. That’s about the only decent chance you’ll get for a while. The water temp is 58°F, which is about normal for the time of year.
The middle of the week looks a bit more promising size-wise, but the wind re-fires. Tuesday the 12th has a bit of a pulse in the morning, 5ft with a clean cross-off wind and moderate energy at 365, but it’s still marginal. Then Wednesday the 13th sees it jump back up to 7ft, and the energy is pumping with 815, but that cross-onshore wind kills it. It’s a beach and point set-up, so it’s just going to be a churning mess.
The second week is pretty much a write-off. There are a few days with a bit of swell, but the winds stay onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy readings are mostly low to moderate. The 19th has a long-period swell of 13 seconds, but it’s only 1ft and the wind is on it. The 21st has some size but it’s back to strong cross-onshore winds. Honestly, except for that one glassy afternoon on the 10th, there’s nothing here that’s going to get the heart racing. The setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this run.
