The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Trespassers in feet.
The first few days are a bust. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are blown out with onshore winds and poor conditions. Gotta wait.
First real chance is Thursday the 6th in the afternoon. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell is a clean 3ft from the SSW with a very long 16-second period. Energy is moderate at 760. A quiet, glassy session for the patient.
Friday the 7th picks up. Morning has 6ft from the SW, 16-second period, but it’s cross-shore. The afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze and 5ft surf (energy 1442). A solid, clean wave for those who can handle it.
The weekend is a mess. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are lumpy and windy. Sunday afternoon has 10ft swell, but onshore wind and strong energy at 2989 – kite surfing territory.
Early next week is still rough. Monday the 10th has big 8ft swell (energy 4677) but it’s choppy. Tuesday the 11th is smaller and still cross-onshore. Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th hold 8ft to 8ft swells, but only marginal conditions.
The standout: Friday the 14th afternoon. The swell drops to a clean 6ft from the SW, 14-second period, and the wind goes glassy. Energy is strong at 1773. Excellent, clean surf for experienced surfers. Best on offer.
Saturday the 15th brings a monster: 12ft from the SW with a 19-second period. Energy is huge at 8100. Expert-only groundswell, cross-shore, but massive.
Sunday the 16th is a gem: 8ft from the SW, 17-second period, with clean offshore east wind. Energy at 4343. Excellent, clean conditions for strong surfers. Another top pick.
Monday the 17th morning stays clean with offshore wind and 6ft surf (1343 energy). Tuesday the 18th drops off with shorter-period 8ft and onshore wind.
Water temp is about average for the time of year.
Best bet: Friday the 14th afternoon for glassy 6ft, or Sunday the 16th for offshore wind and solid 8ft. Both for experienced surfers.
Rusty.

Information about the Trespassers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trespassers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trespassers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trespassers surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Trespassers) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Trespassers may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
