The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this out there. To be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for Trearddur Bay (Holy Island). If you’re hanging out for a proper surf, you’re going to be waiting a while. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is small and weak. The water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is about 2°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not going to be a shock to the system when you get in.
The first real chance of anything comes on Thursday, August 14th. It’s not big, but there’s a little pulse of SSW swell around 4ft to 5ft. The period is a short 5 to 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit crumbly and disorganized. The big positive is the wind. Thursday morning is glassy, and the afternoon goes light cross-offshore from the NW, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is 87 to 129, which is moderate, but it’s the cleanest we’ll see. This is your best bet, and honestly, it’s the only one that’s even worth a look. It’s an inconsistent wave, so be prepared to wait for sets.
Before that, the surf is basically non-existent. From the 4th through the 13th, it’s all under 5ft, most of it under 3ft, with lumpy, cross-onshore conditions. There’s nothing rideable. The energy is weak, mostly under 100, and the wind is just messing it up.
After that little pulse on the 14th, it fades fast again. The 15th has some similar sized swell, but the wind swings cross-onshore and it gets chopped up. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and mostly onshore slop. The week after the 14th is not worth planning around. The energy peters out to nothing, and the wind is all over the place.
There’s a mention of a SSW swell on the 17th with a bit more energy at 175, but the wind is onshore and the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s going to be a mess. Not worth your time.
So, bottom line: if you’re keen, get out on Thursday the 14th. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only clean option on offer. The rest of the window is a write-off for surfing. With the lack of consistent swell and the constant wind, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
