The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about this stretch. I’m looking at Trearddur Bay on Holy Island, and honestly, it’s a tough watch for the next couple of weeks. This setup is about as beginner-friendly as it gets when it’s on, but the problem is it’s barely ever on. The swell direction from the SW is what the spot wants, but we’re getting a lot of wind from the wrong angles—mostly cross-onshore and onshore—which is just trashing what little wave energy we have.
The forecast kicks off on Sunday, September 6th, with a bit of swell around 5ft from the SSW, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-on shore, and the period is a short, weak 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 122, which is weak, and the onshore wind is just making it lumpy. There’s really nothing to get excited about here. This pattern of messy, wind-affected surf continues day after day, with a gap of several days where conditions are just poor. The swell bumps up a bit on the 15th, with 6ft from the SW and a bit more energy (209 in the morning), but the wind is still cross-on or onshore, keeping it choppy. For a spot that’s inconsistent like Trearddur Bay, this is a real bummer.
The only hint of something a little cleaner comes late on Friday, September 11th, when the wind swings to a light 12 mph cross-off from the NNW, offering a clean window. But the swell is tiny at 2ft from the SW, so you’re looking at knee-high dribble. There’s another moment on Friday, September 18th, with a light breeze and a cross-shore wind, and 5ft of SW swell, but the period is still short at 6 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 128. It’s the best of a bad bunch, but it’s not a standout.
Look, for a beginner spot that’s already inconsistent, this run of poor surf is tough. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re sitting there waiting for a set. But honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s not a single standout day. If you’re in the area, don’t bother paddling out. The wind and swell just aren’t lining up. Stay home and wax your board for a better day.
