The Lowdown
Right. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Trearddur Bay on Holy Island, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a lean run. The whole 16-day stretch is a tough one. We’ve got a long gap of several days right from the start where there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for.
The first chance for a wave that’s even worth a sniff comes on Thursday afternoon, the 27th of August. Trearddur Bay will see a bump up to about 6 ft from the WSW, but that’s coming with a short, weak period of just 5 seconds and the energy is moderate at best (156). The wind goes glassy for a moment, which is a major positive, so it’ll look clean as a whistle. Honestly, this is a rare, fleeting moment of surfable, glassy conditions, but the swell is weak and disorganised – not a standout, just a brief window if you’re desperate.
We then drop right back into tiny, poor surf for days. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are a write-off.
The best on offer – and I mean the only real standout in this whole outlook – is Thursday the 3rd of September. Trearddur Bay will see a solid 7 ft swell out of the SSW, with a long-period energy that finally shows some teeth. The combined energy is very strong (1277). The period is 10 seconds, which is decent, giving the waves some push. Now, here’s the catch: it’s a beach setup, and a swell that size with that much energy will be breaking heavy and straight on an onshore wind (SE at 19 mph, fresh cross-shore). This is expert territory only at 7 ft; beginners should stay well away. The wind will make it lumpy and choppy, so while it’s the biggest swell of the period, the quality is poor. This setup is actually more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.
After that, we fizzle out again. Friday the 4th of September offers a little 3 ft swell from the SSW with a moderate offshore wind (NNE, 12 mph), which will be clean, but the energy is weak (144) and the surf is ordinary at best – not a call to action.
So, to wrap it up. Water temp? Nothing unusual to report, it’s about average. The whole outlook is barren. If you’re local, you know this area can go quiet; a blank run like this is more normal than a surprise. Don’t hold your breath – forecasts change, but right now, the surf is not your friend.
Rusty.
