The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s look at what’s on offer for Trearddur Bay.
Honestly, mate, the next 16 days are a real struggle. We're looking at a long, painful stretch of flatness and onshore junk. The only break on the radar is Trearddur Bay (Holy Island), and it’s giving us next to nothing. There’s a gap of almost a week of truly poor surf before we even see a hint of a wave.
The week starts on Friday the 21st with tiny 0.3ft swell from the SW under a moderate north breeze. It’s basically a lake. Saturday and Sunday are the same story – flat, clean but flat. The water is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but it won’t help the lack of waves.
We finally see a pulse of energy arrive on Wednesday the 26th, with the swell bumping up to 1ft. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s weak, and the wind is light cross-shore. The combined energy is a measly 25. It’s poor. Thursday morning the 27th is the closest thing we get to a highlight. The swell is 3ft from the SSW with a 7-second period, and for a few hours we get a light offshore breeze from the NE. The combined energy climbs to 91, but it’s still weak. The file calls it “surfable but very ordinary,” and that’s being generous. It’s the best of a bad lot, but it’s not worth getting excited about.
The rest of the run is a write-off. Strong onshore winds hammer the place from Friday the 28th onwards, with a fresh breeze from the SW blowing 22 mph. The swell tries to build on the 30th of August to 4ft, and again on the 1st of September to 6ft, but the wind is straight onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. This setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with a moderate cross-onshore and lumpy conditions. The combined energy on the 1st hits 180, but it’s all wind-chop.
Given how inconsistent this spot is, a blank run like this is more normal for the area. It’s a tough one. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
