The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at the next sixteen days for The Maze (Tiree). Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough one. The whole period is pretty grim for a paddle, with every single session marked as poor. We’ve got some sizeable swell coming through, especially around the 18th and 19th of August, but the wind is just a total mess, blowing onshore or cross-onshore and ruining any chance of a decent wave face. The water temp is sitting at 59°F, which is about average for the time of year, so at least the stinging cold isn’t an extra problem.
The best we get is a brief window on the 20th of August, Thursday morning. It’s not exactly firing, but we see a clean, cross-off wind from the NNE blowing at 25 mph. The swell will be from the north at 6 ft with a short 6-second period. The energy is moderate at best (422). This sets up more as an interesting prospect for the kite surfers than for us with a paddle. It’s big, it’s short period, and it’s a beach and point setup, so it’ll be a bumpy, blown-out mess in the shallows. Not one for the log.
After that, it’s a long, quiet slog. The second half of the outlook is dominated by small, weak swell – mostly under 3 ft – and more sloppy wind. The combined energy drops right off into the double digits (32-87). The wind stays cross or cross-on, never giving us the glassy, clean conditions we crave. A couple of sessions on the 26th and 27th of August show clean, cross-off wind from the SSE, but the swell is tiny (3 ft - 3 ft) and wrapping from the WNW, so it’s not really gonna light up The Maze. It’s a frustrating outlook, to be honest. You’d need a serious weather change to make this one worthwhile.
