The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it.
The next couple of weeks start out rough, no two ways about it. The Maze is gonna be a mess for the first part of the run. There's a solid pulse of northwest wind energy pushing through on the 4th and 5th, with swell hitting 13ft and the energy readings jumping to (5224), but it's all being shredded by a screaming onshore gale. Not a wave to be had, just chaos. After that, we settle into a couple of days of smaller, lumpy conditions until we get another big push around the 7th and 8th. This looks better, with 10ft to 12ft of west-northwest swell and a clean cross-offshore wind on the Tuesday afternoon. That's when things start to get interesting, though the period is still a bit short.
The mid-period from the 13th onward is where it's at. The winds finally back off into light offshore or even glassy, and the water cleans right up. Sunday the 13th afternoon is a real standout. We're looking at a clean 5ft of west-southwest swell with a 10-second period, and it's glassy. That's a proper session. Tuesday the 15th is the other real gem. Light offshores and a 5ft west swell with a long 12-second period, pushing that energy reading up to (741), and the wind is just about glass. That's your best bet for the whole stretch. This spot is "fairly consistent," so it should be good to go. It's an exposed spot, so it gets everything the Atlantic throws at it, and the water is running a touch warmer than normal, about 59°F, which for this time of year is a little treat. Crowds are a bit of a lottery here, they can show up when it's this clean.
There is a bit of a lull in the middle of the run, with the 9th and 10th looking poor, and by the 11th and 12th the swell just fades out to almost nothing under a light offshore. It's a typical run of it for this part of the world, but when those clean days hit, they hit hard. The Maze is a beach and point setup, so that long-period groundswell on the 15th will be at its best on the point, keeping the shape honest.
