The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Trearddur Bay over the next couple of weeks.
I’ll be straight with you, mate – it’s a tough outlook. The whole 16-day window is a battle with the wind. For the first few days, from Tuesday the 25th of August through to the 31st of August, the surf is just too small to bother with. We’re talking knee-high dribble at best, with the biggest push being a weak 4ft on the Friday morning, but it’s onshore and messy. You’d be better off doing something else. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 63°F, but that’s about the only bright spot.
We finally get a proper pulse of energy on the 1st of September, with a big SSW swell pushing through. The combined energy hits a massive 1051 (moderate to strong wave energy) on the Tuesday afternoon, with waves climbing to 10ft. But here’s the heartbreaker – the wind is howling onshore at 34 mph from the same direction as the swell. That’s a near-gale, and it’s gonna be a complete mess. With that size and that wind, this spot is frankly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. This is strictly for the experts only, and even then, it’ll be a battle.
The wind eases a little through the rest of the first week of September, but it’s never truly clean. We see a couple of pulses – a 6ft to 6ft SW swell on the 5th of September with moderate energy (around 354 to 396) but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy, so it’s not going to be pretty. The following morning, the 6th, has a 7ft WSW swell, but again, it’s blown out by strong onshore winds.
Look, there’s no standout winner here. The only real window of possibility is the 5th of September. If you’re desperate, the Saturday morning has a 6ft SW swell with a fair bit of energy (354), and while the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, it’s the least offensive of a bad bunch. It’s still going to be lumpy and choppy, and crowds are possible. But honestly, I’d be keeping the board in the car and checking the forecast again. This one’s a write-off for clean, quality waves.
