The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’m looking at Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for this spot. The water is sitting at 62.2° which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
The whole 16-day stretch is one long flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. From August 6th all the way through to August 21st, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. There’s no standout, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of nothing. The combined wave energy is always weak, with values mostly below 100 – like 78 on the morning of the 6th, and then it drops into single digits for days on end. It’s not just small, it’s tiny.
The winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, often moderate to fresh breezes, which just chop up what little bump there is. Even the few periods with clean wind – like the afternoons of the 16th and 17th – only have swell heights of 2.3ft and 1.0ft respectively. That’s not surf, that’s a ripple. The swell periods are short, often 4 to 6 seconds, with no energy behind them.
For a spot that’s already inconsistent and exposed to SW swell, this is a proper blank run. It’s more normal here to have quiet spells like this. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest conditions will be late on the 16th and 17th, but you’ll be bobbing around on next to nothing. Honestly, the whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the persistent cross-onshore winds and tiny swell.
No standouts here, folks. Keep your gear in the shed and wait for the next system.
