The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for The Maze (Tiree) over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’ve gotta be honest with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent surf. There’s a lot of wind and messy conditions, and the only time we get any real size, it’s blown to bits. We start off with a dismal Monday afternoon, August 31st – a weak 1.3m W swell (288 combined energy), but it’s onshore and the water’s a touch warmer than normal at 59°. That’s about the only notable thing.
Tuesday the 1st of September sees a pulse of 2.4m WSW swell in the morning (672 energy), but it’s cross-onshore and messy. Wednesday the 2nd goes clean in the morning with a cross-offshore SE wind, but the swell is tiny – only 1.1m (143 energy). Not worth paddling out for. The next few days are a mix of lumpy cross-onshore junk and more clean but tiny surf.
Then Friday the 4th of September brings a proper big swell – 3.5m to 4.0m W (energy hitting 2222 and 3735) – but it’s coming with a near gale onshore wind. That’s a total mess, only for the hardcore. Saturday the 5th drops to 2.2m WNW (1059 energy) with an onshore wind again, so no good there either.
After that, it’s a long stretch of pea-sized surf and strong winds. From Sunday the 6th right through to the 15th, the swell barely gets above knee-high, and when it’s clean it’s too small to ride. There’s a brief flash of 2.5m SW swell on Tuesday the 8th afternoon (902 energy) with a cross-offshore, clean look, but it’s all wind and no fun. The big storm pulse on the 9th of September is a joke – 5.5m W with a gale on it? That’s kite-surfing territory, not for paddling.
The second week is a total ghost town. Tiny, clean waves but nothing with any push. The best I can say is on Saturday the 12th, there’s a 0.8m WNW swell (115 energy) with a gentle cross-shore breeze – but that’s a long shot for a proper wave. The Maze needs a solid W groundswell and offshore E wind to shine, and we just don’t get that combo here.
Honestly, there’s no standout day in this forecast. If you’re desperate, Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is the cleanest with a cross-offshore, but it’s tiny. Saturday the 5th of September has the size but poor wind. For the rest, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
