The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Holy Island area.
Honestly, mate, it's a pretty grim picture for the next two weeks. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy conditions. The first few days are a write-off, and it's not until the very end of the month that we get a slight glimmer of something rideable. The best bet is a long way off, so patience is key.
The first real option doesn't pop up until the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the rubber won't be too thick.
For that Saturday session, Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) is the only spot in the game. It's a beginner-friendly break, but it's inconsistent, so don't expect a wave every minute. The swell is only 2ft, coming from the SSW, and the combined energy is a weak 75. The period is a middling 9 seconds, so it's not a proper groundswell, but it's not a complete windswell either. The real highlight here is the wind. Saturday morning is forecast to be glassy. That's a massive positive for a spot that's usually a bit exposed to the wind. It'll be clean as a whistle, just tiny. The crowds are listed as "sometimes", so you might have a few others with the same idea, but it won't be a circus.
After that, the wind swings onshore and the tiny swell drops back to nothing for the rest of the forecast period. The 25th of August sees a pulse of energy hit 245 (moderate), with 5ft swell from the SSW and an 8-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and the quality is still rated as poor. It's a no-go for a clean surf.
So, save your energy for the 29th. It's not going to be epic, but a glassy 2ft at a beginner-friendly spot is the only thing worth paddling out for in the entire 16-day window. The rest of the time, the board's staying in the car.
Rusty.
