The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—it’s a tough watch out there for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions ahead, so if you’re Jonesing for a wave, you’re going to need some patience.
The whole 16-day window is looking pretty bleak, with no good surf on offer. We’re talking about a solid run of days with hardly any swell and a lot of onshore junk. The first week is particularly dead, with wave heights barely reaching 2 to 2 feet, and periods that are all over the place. The energy just isn’t there, with combined energy values mostly in the single digits. The winds aren't helping either, with a lot of cross-on and onshore breezes chopping up what little texture there is.
The only real standout in this whole stretch – and I mean the only one – is around the 20th of August. We finally get some proper swell energy, but it’s still not great. Here’s the call: on Thursday morning, the 20th, we see a modest push of about 4 feet from the WNW. The combined energy jumps to a moderate level, and it’s the best we’re going to see. But the wind is straight cross-shore, blowing at 12 mph from the WNW, so it’ll be a bit of a bumpy, cross-chop mess.
That’s not the wave to get excited about. The real, albeit small, highlight comes on Saturday the 22nd. We get a moderate offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, and while the swell is tiny – just 0.5 feet from the SW – it’s clean. With a long period of 13-16 seconds, it’ll be glassy and lined up, but it’s for a longboard only.
Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) is the spot, but it's inconsistent and won't be breaking much. The water is running at 62°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won't need a thick suit. The long-period swell on the 22nd is the classic setup for a place like this – it can break too straight at the beach, but this spot can handle it a bit better on the right tide.
Honestly, for a beginner, any of these days are a wash. The only real exception is if the wind swings offshore, and you’re just paddling around. But for a proper surf, there’s nothing on offer. The setup looks much more interesting for a kiteboarder than a paddle surfer on those 20th and 23rd. It’s a blank run, plain and simple. Forecasts change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
