The Lowdown
Right then, folks. Rusty here, and I’ve had a proper look at the charts for our little corner. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a grim outlook for Trearddur Bay on Holy Island. The whole 16-day window is basically one long dry spell.
Right from Thursday, September 3rd, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a sloppy 4ft to 5ft swell, but it’s getting battered by a stiff onshore wind, making a mess of things. That sets the tone for the next week and a half. The wind barely gives us a break, swinging from cross-on to onshore, and the waves are either too small or too chopped up. The combined wave energy is mostly weak, bouncing around 48 to 227, which is just nothing to get excited about. It’s just a lot of lumpy, unrideable slop. For a spot that’s a bit of a fair-weather wave anyway, this is tough.
There is one moment that almost makes you look twice. On Thursday, September 10th, the afternoon sees a solid 8ft swell from the SW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 612. But don’t be fooled. The wind is still doing its dirty work – a light cross-onshore breeze is enough to put a wind-chop on it, and the forecast is only calling it marginal at best. That size is also tipping into the ‘too big for beginners’ territory, so unless you’re a seasoned local paddling out into a messy, 8ft onshore lump, you’re giving it a miss. The crowds here are sometimes an issue, but honestly, I don’t think anyone is going to be paddling out for that.
The rest of the window is more of the same. The 11th and 12th of September offer a clean cross-off wind, which is a nice change, but the swell disappears. You’re looking at 3ft to 6ft of weak, short-period rubbish. By the time we get to the 14th and 15th, it’s flat. There’s a bit of glassy water, but the swell is just a memory – we’re talking 0.3ft to 2ft with no energy. It's a dead loss. The final week is looking just as poor, with a few days showing zero wave height.
So, the honest truth? There are no standouts here. None. For a wave that’s inconsistent at the best of times, this is a proper flat spell. The only thing that might interest a kiter is that 8ft day on the 10th, but for the surfer? It’s time to take up golf or check the forecasts for somewhere else. It can’t stay this bad forever, but this window is a write-off.
Rusty.
