The Lowdown
Right then, I’m not gonna sugar-coat this one: the next 16 days for Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) are looking bleak for a paddle. The whole period is a long stretch of flat-to-ankle slop with almost no usable swell energy. From Monday the 27th of July right through to the middle of August, every single day is marked as poor surf conditions. There’s a small bump around Wednesday the 9th of August and Thursday the 10th, but even then we’re talking tiny wave heights and onshore or cross-onshore winds.
The first couple of days have a little more size, but it comes with strong onshore winds and a combined swell energy that barely cracks 80 (moderate wave energy) at its best – most days sit in the single or low double digits, which is weak. The swell period is short, usually 4–5 seconds, so it’s just wind chop, no shape. Water temp on the 27th morning is 62°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year – nothing wild, but a little extra warmth in the water.
The only faint glimmer comes right at the end, on Monday the 10th of August morning. The wind turns cross-offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, giving clean conditions, with a 2ft swell from the SSW, period of 7 seconds – still short-period, but at least the surface will be clean. Combined energy is 34, still in the weak range. Not really worth a trip by itself, but if you’re desperate for a float, it’s the least messy window. Even then, the break is inconsistent and often crowded when there’s any ripple, so don’t expect empty waves.
Honestly, unless you’re a beginner who just wants to bob around in ankle-biters, there’s nothing here to get excited about. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on the few days when the wind is strong cross-onshore. If you’re set on a surf, keep an eye on forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor forever. But as it stands, there’s no stand-out day in this 16-day window.
