Alright, let’s be real. This is a tough stretch. Looking at Trearddur Bay (Holy Island), there’s nothing worth paddling out for in the next 16 days. It’s a long, dry gap of poor conditions.
We kick off on Thursday, September 3rd, with a 4ft swell from the SW, period of 7 seconds, but a 16 mph onshore wind is just killing it. Water temp is 62°, a touch warmer than normal, but the surf is junk. The combined energy is 155 (moderate), but it doesn’t matter with that wind.
Friday the 4th is worse. The swell hits 6ft from the WSW, period drops to a terrible 5 seconds, and we’ve got a strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind. It’s a complete mess. The energy is 163, but it’s all wind chop.
The whole first week is the same story. Saturday the 5th, the swell drops to 2ft. Sunday the 6th brings it back up to 5ft, but it’s lumpy and cross-onshore again. Day after day, it’s onshore or cross-onshore winds, short-period swell, and the word is always “poor.” Energy values sit between 100 and 177, but it’s all for nothing.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Saturday the 12th, in the morning. We get a 5ft swell from the NW with a 6 mph easterly cross-offshore breeze, and the ocean goes clean. The energy is 198 (moderate). But the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” and it’s only a 1 out of 10. It’s not enough, and by the afternoon the wind is back onshore and the swell is gone.
Sunday the 13th morning brings the biggest swell of the whole run at 7ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. The energy jumps to 320 (strong). But it’s a cross-shore wind, and it’s marginal. The afternoon swell hits 8ft with energy at 486 (strong), but again, it’s cross-shore and messy. At that size with a short period, it’s only for the experienced, and even then it’s not clean.
After that, it all fades to nothing. From the 14th onward, the swell drops off, energy values fall to single digits. By the 16th, there’s no swell at all. Just a few weak, onshore days to finish.
I hate to say it, but Trearddur Bay is a write-off. When a spot is as inconsistent as this one, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. We just gotta sit this one out and hope the forecasts change. Don’t hold your breath.
