Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s headed for Trespassers.
It’s a forecast with two faces. We get a clean little window this weekend, and then a long slog of messy, windy slop. Water temp is about 60°, pretty normal for this time of year.
Kicks off Saturday morning, the 4th of July. Glassy conditions, wind from the SE at only 3 mph. Surf is 4 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period. The energy is moderate at 683. It’ll be clean and smooth, but not a heavy haul. The morning is the only good part of that day.
Sunday morning, the 5th of July, is the real highlight. The swell picks up to 5 ft from the SSW, with a very long 17-second period. The wind goes offshore from the ENE at 12 mph. That’s the cleanest, most powerful combo we have. The energy jumps to 1438, so you’ll feel the grunt. It’s too big for a learner though, and that long period will make it a pretty fast, critical wave at this reef.
Monday the 6th drops off quickly. Clean offshore wind but the swell is down to 3 ft SSW. The energy is low. It’s small, clean, and cruisy.
After that, it gets ugly. From Tuesday the 7th through the 18th of July, the wind goes cross, cross-off, and then onshore with strong gusts. You get a spike of size Wednesday the 8th with a 6 ft SSW groundswell and a 18-second period, 1837 energy. That’s a beast, but the cross-off breeze keeps it from being perfect. It’s for experts only.
From Thursday the 9th onward, it’s mostly a write-off. Bigger swells on the 13th and 17th but the wind is fresh onshore and choppy. On the 13th, a 8 ft SW swell with a lumpy cross-shore wind makes it look like a kite-surfing day more than anything else. The 16th brings a 6 ft WSW windswell with a short 8-second period – just slop.
Bottom line: you’ve got Saturday morning the 4th for the clean, smaller glass, and Sunday morning the 5th for the best combo of power, size, and clean offshore wind. Everything after that is a mess that lasts over a week. Get it while you can.
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.
