The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be honest with each other about what’s on offer around Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) for the next couple of weeks. I’ve looked at the numbers, and I’ve got to tell you, it’s a tough run.
Right now, and for the entire 16-day window, the surf just isn't showing up. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through to the end of the forecast on Thursday, August 13th, the combined swell energy barely gets a pulse going, sitting at weak levels (best seen at just 28). The biggest wave height we see is a measly 3 ft on Wednesday afternoon, but it’s riddled with a fresh cross-onshore wind from the SSW at 19 mph, making it lumpy and horrible. It’s a classic case of the wind and swell not lining up.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The swell direction is trying to swing around from the SW, which is where Trearddur Bay is fairly exposed, but the period is consistently short – mostly 4 seconds or less – meaning no real energy or shape.
We do get a stretch from Sunday, August 2nd, through to Sunday, August 9th, where the wind goes offshore (NE) or clean cross-offshore, which is great for the surface. But the problem is the swell size is basically flat – 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft – with combined energy down in the single digits. It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. While the swell direction is roughly from the SW, which is the optimum for this spot, and the wind is perfect, the lack of any wave height means it’s a complete non-starter for a surfer.
The consistency is listed as “inconsistent” for this spot, and this forecast is a perfect example of that. It’s a blank run. For a beginner spot, even a small wave would be welcome, but there’s not enough to push a longboard. The only thing I can say is that conditions for the first week of August look beautiful for a swim, but for a surf? It’s a no-go. Don’t bother paddling out unless you’ve got a kite and a strong wind, because the wind is the only thing with any energy.
Rusty.
