The Lowdown
Right then, let’s talk about Trearddur Bay (Holy Island).
Honestly, I’m looking at the whole 16-day window and it’s pretty flat and grim for a lot of it. There’s no good surf on offer right now and things stay that way for a good long stretch. From Wednesday August 12th right through until the middle of the following week, it’s all tiny dribble – at best 1 feet and with short, weak periods. The combined swell energy rarely breaks double digits, often sitting at a pathetic 1 to 13 (weak energy). The wind’s cross-on or onshore most of that time too, so you’d be scratching around in choppy, messy conditions. There’s a big gap of poor to zero surf for days on end.
Now, the one thing that catches my eye – and I mean *the* standout – is Thursday August 20th. Early that morning we get a jump to 6 feet swell from the NW, period 6 seconds, with combined energy hitting 264 (moderate wave energy). That’s the most energy we see across the whole outlook. The wind is offshore from the NE at 16 mph, so Trearddur Bay should be clean and lined up. That’s the session to aim for, but keep in mind the period is short – only 6 seconds – so waves will be a bit crumbly and soft, not that deep power.
Friday August 19th morning also shows some pulse: 6 feet from the WNW, period 6 seconds, energy 183. The wind is light onshore though (SW 9 mph), so it’ll be a bit lumpy. Thursday afternoon the 20th drops to 4 feet but stays clean with cross-offshore wind.
After that, it’s back to tiny leftovers. Wave heights drop to 0.3 feet from the 21st right through to the 23rd, with long periods of 13-14 seconds, but absolutely no height – those are just ghost swells. The combined energy is below 20 (weak).
By Monday August 24th morning we get a little bump: 4 feet from the SSW, period 7 seconds, energy 128 (moderate). Clean with cross-offshore NNW wind at 12 mph. That’s a possible morning surf, but nothing like the Thursday 20th.
For the rest of the second week it’s mostly small and weak – 0.3 feet to 2 feet, with onshore or cross winds. Not worth getting excited about.
Trearddur Bay is a beginner-friendly, fairly exposed spot, but it’s inconsistent and rarely fires. The best of a poor bunch is clearly Thursday August 20th morning.
