The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on Trearddur Bay (Holy Island). Straight up, it’s a tough stretch. This spot is inconsistent and mostly set up for beginners when it’s working, but we’re looking at a long dry spell before anything worthwhile shows up.
The water temp is about average for this time of year. No major anomalies to report.
We’ve got a solid gap of no real surf for the first couple of weeks. From Sunday the 30th of August all the way through to Saturday the 12th of September, it’s a write-off. We’re seeing fresh to strong winds, mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with the swell bouncing around between 3ft and 8ft but it’s all messy and lumpy. The energy is weak to moderate at best, with values like 92 (weak) and up to 451 (moderate) on the 10th, but the wind ruins it. For a beach break like this, it’s worth saying the setup on those bigger, windier days like Friday the 4th of September (8ft from the WSW with strong cross-onshore winds at 28 mph) looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Then, finally, we get a glimmer. On Sunday the 13th of September morning, things change. The wind swings around to a light ENE at 3 mph, going cross-offshore. That’s clean. The swell drops to 3ft from the SW with an 8-second period (moderate energy of 138). It’s surfable but very ordinary – a real small-wave cruiser session for a beginner. The afternoon stays clean with a 5ft WNW swell, but it’s still just “ordinary.”
Monday the 14th of September morning holds a little more clean surf: 4ft from the WNW with light NNW winds and a period of 5 seconds. Again, nothing special, but it’s the only clean, rideable window in the whole 16 days. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that Sunday and Monday are it. Remember, this break is inconsistent, so a blank run like this is more normal for the area. Forecasts can change, though.
Keep your head up.
Rusty.
