The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Trearddur Bay (Holy Island) has got cooking for us. I’ll be straight with you – this is a quiet stretch ahead. The whole 16-day run is a bit of a write-off, to be honest.
The first recommendation for a surf doesn’t actually kick in until the 31st of August, and even then it’s a struggle. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worthwhile before that. The overall pattern is a lot of wind and not much in the way of rideable waves. The one spot we’ve got to look at is Trearddur Bay, but it’s not showing us any love.
Trearddur Bay is a beginner zone, inconsistent, and it’s only fairly exposed to the swell. The water’s sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Starting Monday the 31st of August, the morning is a write-off with a 4ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is howling at 22 mph from the same direction, making it a lumpy cross-shore mess. The energy is weak (154). The afternoon drops to 2ft from the SW, but it’s still choppy. Tuesday the 1st of September? Onshore wind at 16 mph, and a tiny 3ft swell. Poor.
Wednesday the 2nd sees a bump to 6ft from the SSW in the afternoon, and the energy picks up to a moderate 251 (still messy). Thursday the 3rd is onshore again. Friday the 4th is cross-onshore with a 5ft swell (151 energy), but it’s lumpy. The whole first week is just blown out or onshore. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are tiny and messy.
The best of it, if you can call it that, comes on Monday the 7th of September. The morning has a cross-offshore wind from the NNW at 16 mph, and the conditions are clean. The swell is only 3ft from the SSW, but the period is a short 5 seconds. The energy is very low (42). The afternoon is similar, clean, with a gentle breeze, but still only 3ft. It’s surfable for a beginner on a foamie, but it’s not a standout.
The second week looks even worse. Tuesday the 8th is cross-onshore and strong. Wednesday the 9th has a big 10ft swell from the SSW in the afternoon with a massive 866 energy, but the wind is a strong 25 mph onshore. That’s a washing machine, not a wave. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The rest of the week is tiny, and the following weekend is either blown out or near-gale force.
Honestly, I can’t recommend a single session here. Trearddur Bay is a beginner spot, and it’s inconsistent at the best of times. A blank run like this, with no consistent surf, is more normal for this area. It’s a tough one.
Rusty.
