The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for this stretch of coast.
Right, straight up, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. This is a tough outlook. The whole 16-day run is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch with nothing but small, choppy, and generally poor conditions. The first recommendation doesn't kick in until the 26th of July, and honestly, it's not a good one.
For the first week, from the 26th of July through to the 3rd of August, it's a bust. Fresh winds, lumpy cross-shore chop, and tiny swell. The swell energy is next to nothing, with readings like 158 (weak) and dropping right down to single digits. The wind is a problem, mostly cross-on or onshore, and strong enough to mess up anything that might be there. There's a brief moment on the 5th of August where we get some clean, offshore winds from the NNE, but the swell is still small and weak. The water temperature is 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal, but that's about the only positive.
The only spot on the cards is Trearddur Bay (Holy Island). It's a beginner-friendly, fairly exposed spot that's inconsistent, but it needs a good SW swell to work. The optimum swell direction is from the SW, and we get a bit of that on the 4th of August, with a 5ft swell from the SW and a period of 6 seconds, pushing the combined energy to 143 (moderate). But the wind on the 4th is cross-on or onshore, so it'll be messy. The 5th of August is the best we've got: a clean 3ft to 5ft SW swell with offshore and cross-off winds from the NNE. That's about as good as it gets. The period is short, around 5-6 seconds, so it's not gonna be a classic, but it'll be clean. The water's a touch warmer than average, so you won't need a thick suit.
Come the 8th of August, we see a bit more potential. A 3ft SSW swell with a 10-second period on the Saturday afternoon pushes the energy to 177 (moderate). But the wind is cross-shore, so not perfect. The 10th brings another clean offshore window, but the swell is tiny. For the rest of the second week, it's back to small, weak, and choppy.
To be honest, if you're looking to paddle, you're better off waiting for a better forecast. The setup with the wind and small swell on the 4th and 5th of August might be more interesting for the kite crew than us surfers. It's a long blank run, and in this area, that's pretty normal for this time of year. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
