The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s going down at Trearddur Bay. I'll be straight with you—it’s a bleak one. The water’s sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you stare at the flatness.
Honestly, for the whole run, there’s barely a pulse. From Saturday the 5th through to the 20th, it’s all poor surf. The biggest issue is the wind. It’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and pretty fresh to strong a lot of the time, which just chops up anything that tries to arrive. Saturday kicks off with a weak 3ft at 5 seconds and it only goes downhill from there.
The weekend of the 5th and 6th sees some push—up to 5ft on Sunday afternoon—but it’s all cross-onshore and messy. Monday the 7th has a funky 14-second period early, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft, so there’s nothing to ride anyway.
There’s a moment on Tuesday the 8th where the swell bumps to 6ft with a 6-second period, the biggest of the whole window. But it’s fresh cross-onshore, lumpy, and a bit of a mess. That’s your best size-wise, but it’s not going to be any good. There’s some energy behind it, but it’s just not clean.
We go through a long stretch where it dies completely. From the 12th through to the 20th, it’s mostly under 2ft, with a lot of readings at 0.3ft or even nothing at all. Wednesday the 9th has a brief lull in wind, but the waves are tiny. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th pick up a bit again—up to 5ft with a cross-shore breeze on the 11th—but it’s still poor quality and lumpy. After that, it’s a dead loss. From the 12th to the 20th, it’s a flat spell. You might as well find something else to do.
The only clean windows are the 12th and the 19th, when the wind goes offshore, but there’s simply no swell at all—just 0.7ft or nothing. It's a classic flat spell for a spot like this; it's a fickle break, so it's not a surprise. There’s nothing that’s going to be any good for anyone. With the swell that does show up being mostly under 5ft and blown out, you’re not getting any decent waves. This is more of a kite-surfing week than a surfing one, to be honest.
Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d dust off the longboard and maybe take up fishing.
