The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a lean run. We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch to start. The first sign of any real action doesn't show up until Sunday the 6th of September, a full week and a half from now. Before that, it’s just small, weak, and mostly wind-affected slop. Not worth paddling out for. You’d be better off checking the tide pools or going for a long walk.
Now, the one and only true standout in this whole 16-day window is Trearddur Bay itself on Sunday the 6th of September. Finally, the stars align. We get a moderate offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph, which is going to really clean things up proper. The swell comes in from the WSW, pushing wedges of swell height of 8 ft. That’s a bit of size, over 8 ft mind you, so this is strictly for experienced surfers – beginners, sit this one out. While the period is a short 6 seconds, that combined wave energy clocks in at a solid 415, so there’s some proper grunt in the water. Given it’s a beach break, that short period might actually work in our favour, keeping the waves from closing out too straight. It won’t be perfect, but after all this flatness, it’ll feel like heaven. Expect it to be a bit busy though – crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get your spot early. The water temp is around 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so a spring suit will be just fine.
Sunday afternoon continues the fun with similar conditions: 7 ft swell from the W, still 12 mph offshore from the NE, and energy of 342. Definitely the pick of the fortnight.
Other than that, the rest of the window is a write-off. Strong onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, messy – the works. A couple of days around the 2nd of September see some size (up to 7 ft) but it’s blown out by 19 mph winds from the S, making for ugly, difficult conditions. On the 4th of September, a 7 ft SSW swell rolls in with 389 energy, but again, cross-on wind from the W ruins the party. At that point, with a beach setup and that wind, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
So to wrap it up: endure the quiet, mark your calendar for the 6th of September, and be ready for a fun day at Trearddur Bay. After that, it fades again quickly. Hang in there.
