The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s brewing for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a mixed bag, and you’ll need to be patient. The Maze (Tiree) is a solid spot, a beach and point setup exposed to the west, but it’s not going to be offering much in the way of clean, rideable waves for a while.
The first proper chance to get wet won’t come until the very end of the month. For the rest of the week and into next week, the wind is a nightmare. We’ve got a lot of fresh to strong cross-onshore winds, and the swell is either too small or too messy. The water temp is sitting around 58°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no shock there.
We’ve got a window on the 31st of July that looks like the best of a bad bunch. Friday afternoon sees the wind drop to glassy, and we’ll have a small 3 ft swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, just 111. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s surfable and clean. That’s the standout.
Then things get tiny again. The 1st and 2nd of August are flat with tiny waves and clean but useless offshores. The 5th of August shows a bit of a pulse, with a 4 ft swell from the WSW, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the energy is still low at 230. The wind is cross-off and clean, so it’s worth a look, but it’s marginal.
Into the second week, the 6th of August has some size, up to 7 ft, but the wind is howling from the NW again, making it lumpy and blown out. That’s more for the kites than a surfboard.
So, the takeaway: the only real sniff of a decent paddle is on the 31st of July for a glassy, small wave session. The rest is mostly wind-affected or flat. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.

A general guide to surfing at The Maze (Tiree) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Maze (Tiree) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
