The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Trearddur Bay has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ll be honest with you, the outlook is a tough one. For the first twelve days, from the 5th of August through to the 16th of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The wave energy is mostly weak, often under 30 (as low as 1 on the 11th), and the swell is tiny and short-period. You’re looking at a lot of cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. Even when the wind swings offshore on the 11th, the swell is barely a ripple at 1ft. It’s a long, dry spell for paddle surfing.
The water temperature on the 5th of August is sitting at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least a wetsuit isn’t a total battle.
Now, the real story is what happens on the 17th of August. The swell finally wakes up. Monday morning delivers a 4ft swell from the southwest with a short period of 8 seconds and a moderate wave energy of 408, but it’s a cross-shore wind making it lumpy. The stand-out, however, is Monday afternoon. The swell jumps to 8ft from the northwest, with a period of 7 seconds and a strong wave energy of 622. The wind is onshore from the southwest, so it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. At 8ft, this is strictly for experts only. The combined energy really shows the power (622). This is the only real highlight in the whole forecast, and being over a week away, it’s promising but not locked in.
The following days, the 18th and 19th, clean up a bit with cross-offshore winds, but the swell drops back down to 2ft to 2ft with moderate energy.
So, for the keen crew, that Monday afternoon, 17th of August, is the one day to circle on the calendar. It’s the only shot of real size, even if the wind won’t be perfect. For the rest of the window, it’s flat and messy. You’d be better off cleaning the wax off your board.
Stay hopeful, Rusty.
