The Lowdown
Right then, mate, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Trearddur Bay (Holy Island).
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. There’s a big fat nothing for the first few days – from Saturday the 22nd right through to Monday the 25th, we’re talking flat. Swell is barely a whisper at 0.3 ft, so don’t even bother waxing up. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 63°, but that’s small comfort.
We get a little flicker of life on Wednesday the 26th morning with a 1 ft SW swell, but it’s short period at 8 seconds and the wind is cross-onshore, making for a choppy mess. Combined energy is weak (22). Not worth the drive.
Thursday the 27th sees a jump to 3 ft from the south early, with a fresh offshore breeze from the NE at 22 mph – that’ll clean it up, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the combined energy is still moderate at 64. By the afternoon it gets messy again with a strong cross-shore.
Friday the 28th morning is your best bet in this whole sorry outlook. We’ve got a 4 ft SSW swell, period up to 8 seconds, combined energy of 138 (moderate), and a light offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph. It’ll be clean, but the conditions are only described as ‘very ordinary’. Still, for a beginner spot that’s inconsistent, this is as good as it gets. Keep an eye on the crowds, they can turn up sometimes.
After that, it’s downhill. The rest of the period is a mess of onshore winds, lumpy seas, and poor surf quality. Swells get bigger – up to 5 ft on Friday the 4th of September – but the wind is howling onshore, making it unsurfable. That’s expert-only territory with those winds anyway. The combined energy hits 175 (moderate) on the 4th morning, but with a 25 mph onshore, it’s a write-off. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
In short, if you’re desperate, Friday the 28th morning is your only real window for a paddle. Otherwise, it’s a long, blank run. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here, so forecasts can change.
