The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Trearddur Bay.
Well, I gotta be straight with you, the next week and a half or so is looking pretty grim. There’s almost nothing to get excited about. We're talking days of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny. It’s a real dry spell.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Saturday, August 22nd. Early that morning, we’ve got a tiny pulse of 4ft swell from the SSW, but the real kicker is the wind. It’s gonna be glassy. Absolutely dead calm. That’s a rare treat, and it’ll make the surface look like a mirror. The combined energy is weak (88), but for a beginner spot like Trearddur Bay, clean conditions trump everything. It’s the only standout in the whole outlook, and it’s purely for the morning glass-off. After that, the wind swings and the energy jumps up, but it gets messy again.
Later that same afternoon, Saturday the 22nd, the swell builds to 6ft from the S with a combined energy of 243, which is moderate. But the wind turns cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit of a mess. That size is right on the edge of being too big for beginners anyway.
Before that, the only other thing worth mentioning is a brief window on Friday, August 14th afternoon. A tiny 1.0ft swell from the SW with a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s clean, but there’s almost no energy in the water (combined energy of 3). More of a fun paddle than a proper surf.
The rest of the time is a write-off. You’ve got days of onshore wind, total flatness, and even a few proper storms rolling through with strong winds. For the first 10 days, it’s just a waiting game. The long-range stuff late in the month is too far out to bank on.
So, if you’re desperate, Saturday, August 22nd is your only real shot. Get there at dawn for the glass. After that, the forecast is a total blank.
Rusty.
