The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and sad for Trearddur Bay. I’ve been staring at the charts and there’s just nothing doing for a good long while. We’re talking a solid stretch of marginal, knee-high dribble and onshore slop that’s going to have you wondering why you bothered dragging your board down.
The first real tease of a wave doesn’t show up until Sunday the 16th, and even then it’s a grovelly 0.9m (3ft) with a short, weak 4-second period. The energy is still weak, only 33 in the combined swell energy for the morning. It’s a gentle cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Not worth getting excited about. The following morning, Monday the 17th, sees a bit more size, 1.3m (4ft), but the period is a pathetic 5 seconds, and it’s a cross-onshore breeze again. Still poor, still not really breaking properly.
Then, finally, we get something that looks like a pulse. On Tuesday the 18th, the swell builds to 1.8m (6ft) with a 6-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 193. This is the most significant swell of the entire window, coming from the SSW. But, as is the way here, the wind decides to be a pain. It’s a light cross-onshore in the morning, turning more onshore in the afternoon. For a beginner break, 1.8m (6ft) is already in the “might be a bit much” territory, but the short period is the real killer. It’s going to be a jumbled, messy closeout, not a clean, rideable wave. This is the closest thing to a standout, but honestly, it’s not a glowing recommendation. If you’re an experienced local who knows the sandbars, Tuesday morning is your only real window to get something with a bit of push behind it, but it’s not going to be pretty.
After that, it just kind of gives up again. The rest of the week is a mix of small, weak swells and poor winds. The 21st brings strong onshores and a tiny 0.6m (2ft) wave, which will be pure chop. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so you won't need the 5mm just yet.
So, there you have it. A long, drawn-out flat spell with one possible, average-quality bump on Tuesday the 18th. It’s not ideal, but it is what it is. Keep the board in the car just in case, because forecasts can change, but plan for a lot of time on the beach.
