The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. For the next few days, The Maze (Tiree) is pretty much flat or blown out, so you’re better off checking the forecast for the second week—that’s where the real action is. Water temp is sitting at 58°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real highlight pops up on the morning of Wednesday, 12th August. The Maze is cleaning up with a light offshore from the NNE, wind around 6 mph, and we’re looking at a 6 ft swell from the WSW, period 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 445, and it’s clean as a whistle. This is a solid session for anyone who’s been waiting.
Then Thursday, 13th August, morning brings a similar setup—NNE offshore at 6 mph, swell 7 ft from the WSW, period 8 seconds, energy climbing to 511. That’s pushing into expert territory though, so only for the experienced crew. The water’s still glassy, so if you’ve got the skills, this is your window.
But the standout of the whole 16-day stretch is Friday, 14th August, morning. Swell hits 8 ft from the W, period 10 seconds, and the energy is a massive 1232. Wind is NNE at 6 mph, offshore, and it’s clean. This is big, powerful, and well-shaped—excellent for experienced surfers only. The Maze’s point and reef setup will handle that long-period groundswell nicely.
Saturday, 15th August, morning is also firing: 8 ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, energy 1255, offshore NNE at 6 mph. Still clean, still big. After that, Sunday the 16th is a touch smaller but still solid at 6 ft and clean, with lighter winds.
Before that, there’s a long gap of flat or poor conditions from now right through to the 11th of August, so don’t hold your breath. The first week is a write-off.

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