The Lowdown
Alright, grab a brew and listen up. Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this is a tough one for the Holy Island area. The forecast is a long, dry spell of nothing much, with a tiny flicker of hope way down the line.
The good news? There's basically none for the first week. We're looking at a solid run of tiny, weak swells and poor conditions from now until the tail end of August. The water is sitting at 64°F near Trearddur Bay, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
The first signs of life don't pop up until Thursday, August 27th. That's your standout, and it's the only one worth getting excited about. On Thursday morning, a 10ft swell from the SW will roll in, with a short period of 7 seconds and moderate combined energy (731). The wind is light and cross-onshore in the morning, which is a bit lumpy, but it's due to swing to a light offshore from the north by Thursday afternoon. That afternoon session will see the swell still a solid 8ft, clean, and with a much better wind. The period is still short, so expect a bit of a bumpy, dumpy wave, but at this size, it'll have some punch. This one is for the experienced crew – 8ft is well into the range that's only for good surfers. The crowds at Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) can be a problem sometimes, but a mid-week, big-swell, average-period day might thin the pack out a bit.
After that Thursday blip, it's back to the doldrums. From Friday the 28th right through to the end of the forecast on September 3rd, we're looking at ankle-snappers and onshore junk. The swell drops back to under 3ft, with weak energy (under 54 on the scale) and mostly poor wind directions. There's a fair bit of fresh to strong wind in there, which will make the short-period, small swell a complete mess.
So, the bottom line: the only window is Thursday, August 27th. If you're a capable surfer and you can get a pass for the afternoon, you might score. For everyone else, it's a long wait for the next real swell.
Rusty.
