The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the table for Trearddur Bay.
Honestly, it's a bit of a tough stretch ahead. For the next week, we're looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple. From Wednesday the 19th right through to Tuesday the 25th, the swell is tiny, with heights mostly between 0.3ft and 3ft and periods under 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, often in the single digits (44 or less), and the conditions are just not cooperating. The wind is mostly cross-off or clean, but with no swell to work with, it's just a pretty lake. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, but honestly, you won't need a wetsuit for a paddle – just a board won't do much.
Then, on Wednesday the 26th of August, we get a bit of a pulse. The morning sees a 6ft swell from the south, with a period of 8 seconds and a big jump in energy to 539 (moderate). The wind is from the east at 9 mph, keeping it clean. This is our best bet in the whole 16-day window, but it's still a marginal call. The swell direction is from the south, which is close to the optimum SW, so it should wrap in okay. It's big enough for a decent wave, but over 5ft, it might be a bit much for beginners, and the short period means it'll be a bit crumbly and close together. The afternoon turns to trash with cross-onshore winds from the south, so get it in the morning if you can.
After that, the rest of the forecast is a write-off. The 27th through the 3rd of September is a mix of tiny swells, strong cross and onshore winds, and generally blown-out, messy conditions. The 30th of August has a 7ft swell, but it's accompanied by a 22 mph cross-shore wind that will turn it into a washing machine (combined energy 403). That's more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle session.
So, to sum it up: the only real window is Wednesday morning, the 26th of August. It's a short, promising window, but it's a one-off. The rest of the time, you're better off with a cold one and a spot on the beach.
Rusty.
