The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's coming for The Maze on Tiree.
The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. There's some swell on the horizon, but the wind is going to be a real pain for most of it. You'll have to be patient.
We start off with almost nothing. The first few days are a write-off, with poor conditions and onshore or cross-off winds that just won't let things clean up. It’s not until Sunday the 16th that we see a glimmer of hope. The morning brings a glassy 3ft swell from the WNW, but it's a short-period windswell at only 7 seconds. The wave energy is weak (82). It's surfable, but you’ll be working for it.
The real standout, and I mean the only proper highlight in this whole window, looks to be Tuesday the 25th of August. The afternoon session is the one. We’ve got a clean 8ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is strong at 1170, and with a cross-off breeze from the SSE, The Maze should be holding some nice lines. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
A word of caution: that 8ft is getting up there. It's not for beginners, and the more experienced among you will want to be on your game. This is a point and beach setup, so the longer period groundswell could make it a bit straight at the beach, but the point should offer up some nice rides.
There's another mention for Wednesday the 26th morning. A clean 7ft from the WSW with light offshore winds from the NE. It's a step down in size and energy (635) from the day before, but still a solid option if you missed the Tuesday session.
The rest of the period is pretty grim. Strong onshores and big, messy surf dominate the middle of the second week, making it a kite-surfing show rather than a paddling one. The only other mentionable slot is Monday the 24th morning with a 6ft swell from the WSW and clean offshore winds, but the energy is moderate (356) and it’s a bit of a gamble.
So, to wrap it up: hold out for Tuesday the 25th of August. That’s your best chance at something special. Everything else is just waiting.
