The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks up here. It’s been a tale of two forecasts, to be honest. We started with some real muscle—a 15ft wave with a 12-second period blowing through mid-week—but that howling onshore wind just annihilated it. It was a complete mess, unsurfable chaos. You wouldn’t have been able to get a rail in the water.
To be brutally honest, the next week or so is mostly a bust. A good nine or ten days of poor conditions, with winds just constantly swinging onshore and wrecking any swell that comes through. It’s a hard stretch to watch, with nothing decent on the horizon.
But hold on to your boardies, because things get seriously interesting as we approach mid-month. The standout, the absolute one to watch, is Tuesday the 15th at The Maze (Tiree). This is a proper, long-period, west-northwest groundswell mixing with a long-period west swell. We’re looking at 10ft to 12ft of swell with a period stretching out to a very juicy 15 to 16 seconds. The energy readings are massive, coming in around 8066 to 9412, which tells you there’s an ocean’s worth of power behind it. Now, at that size and period, this is unequivocally for the experts only. When it’s over 8ft, you need to know exactly what you’re doing out there. The winds are looking light, with a bit of a cross-off in the morning and a light onshore in the afternoon. With that swell direction from the W and WNW, this is prime territory for this spot to go off, with nice, clean lines peeling down the points and reefs. It’s a long way out, a real long-range promise, so we need the forecast to hold, but if it does, this one could be the session of the season.
There’s a smaller, less consistent bump on Saturday the 12th, getting to around 8ft with quicker period, but it just doesn’t have the same class. That Tuesday swell is the real deal, the big dog. It’s a beach and point setup, so if the conditions align, it’s going to be firing. Just remember, with swell that big and that peaky, you’ll want to be at a point or a reef, not a beach break where it might close out.
I’ll be glued to the forecast for early next week. If that Tuesday swell cleans up, we’re on for a proper session.
