The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and I’ve got the goods on what’s coming up for Trearddur Bay (Holy Island). I’ll be straight with you: this isn’t a week for high hopes. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak surf ahead, with barely a pulse until the very end of the month.
The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up until Sunday, the 30th of August, and even then, it’s marginal. For the next ten days, from Thursday the 20th through to Saturday the 29th, we’re looking at tiny, wind-affected dribble. Swell heights are mostly below 2 ft, with periods all over the place but the energy is pitiful – often between 7 and 24 (combined energy). The wind is mostly cross-off or cross, which keeps the surface clean, but with practically no wave to ride, it’s just a glassy pond. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout – if you can call it that – is Sunday the 30th of August. The swell starts to build in the morning, with 5 ft from the SW, period of 6 seconds, and energy hitting 195 (moderate). The wind is cross-on and windy, so it’ll be choppy. By the afternoon, the swell picks up to 8 ft, still from the SW, period 7 seconds, and energy jumps to 495 (strong). That’s a lot of water moving, but the period is short, meaning it’ll be a bit of a mess. Still, the wind goes light cross-shore, so it might be the most rideable slot of the whole run. It’s marginal, but for the desperate, this is it.
Then Monday the 31st of August brings 8 ft from the WSW, period 7 seconds, energy over 500 (strong) – but it’s cross-on and choppy, so only for the hardcore. After that, we get a little relief on Tuesday the 1st of September with 5 ft from the NW, period 5 seconds, and clean cross-off wind. The energy is 152 (moderate). It’s nothing special, but at least the surface is smooth.
The rest of the outlook drops off rapidly after that, with tiny swells and strong winds. So, to sum it up: if you’ve got to paddle, wait for the 30th of August afternoon, and keep your expectations low. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real chance.
Rusty.
