The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let's size up Trearddur Bay over the next couple weeks. Gotta be honest, the outlook's a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of days where the surf just isn't happening. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, often blowing a gale, and the conditions are just plain messy. The water is a touch warmer than usual for the season, holding at about 63°, but that's small comfort when there's nothing to ride.
The first real standout, if you can call it that, doesn't show up until Monday, September the 8th. A big groundswell from the SW rolls in, a solid 13ft, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is huge at (2418), but the west wind is howling at 25 mph, making it a messy, strong cross-onshore disaster. That size is for experts only, and with that wind, I'd be more tempted to rig up a kite than paddle out.
The afternoon of that same day, the 8th, might be the pick of a bad bunch. The swell drops to 7ft from the SW, with a long 10-second period, so it's a proper groundswell with real energy (1011). The wind clocks northwest to 25 mph, going cross-shore, but it's still a strong breeze with messy cross-chop. The direction is what Trearddur Bay likes best, but the wind is just ruining it. For a spot that's inconsistent, this is a long, lean run.
Honestly, beginners, leave the board at home. The surf is either too small, too windy, or too big and blown out. This kind of blank stretch is more normal for this area. Conditions can turn, but as it stands, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
