Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for us at Trespassers. This is a solid reef break, an advanced wave, and it’s fairly consistent. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

We’ve got a pretty rough run to start. The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are all blown out with strong cross-shore winds and lumpy, messy conditions. The swell is there, around 4ft to 5ft out of the SW with a long period of 16 seconds, but the wind just ruins it. The combined energy is moderate (912) dropping to lower, but it’s not worth paddling out for.

Monday the 10th sees a big jump in size, with a solid 10ft SW swell (4380 combined energy), but it’s a strong cross-onshore breeze and lumpy. That’s a big, ugly wave for experts only at best, and the wind is just spitting on it. The afternoon goes offshore but the quality is still poor.

Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are more of the same – strong winds, messy, and on the 12th we get a massive 10ft SW swell with a very long period of 19 seconds, the combined energy is 7149, but it’s all onshore mayhem. That’s kite-surfing territory, not for us.

Thursday the 13th is a bit of a tease. It’s still onshore, but the wind drops to a gentle breeze. We’ve got a 8ft swell (4105 energy) and the report says marginal surf. It’s big, but the wind is just on it enough to make it messy. Friday the 14th is similar, a cross-onshore chop with 7ft SSW swell.

Now, finally, we get a window. Saturday the 15th morning is the stand-out. The wind goes totally glassy. A calm, glassy morning with a 6ft SSW groundswell (1322 combined energy). That’s clean, long period, and the reef will handle it well. This is the best the whole run has to offer. The crowd is “sometimes” so you might get a few out, but it’s worth it.

The rest of the second week looks promising but less certain. Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th see clean conditions with light cross-offshore breezes and 4ft to 4ft SW swell. The energy is lower (around 600-700), but clean. Then Tuesday the 18th is another real highlight: a clear day, light cross-offshore wind, and a 5ft SW swell with a period of 17 seconds (1207 combined energy). That’s a beautiful, punchy reef wave. Wednesday the 19th holds up with a moderate breeze but still clean, before the wind swings back onshore on the 20th and the run ends in poor conditions again.

So, if you’re keen, don’t bother with the first week. The absolute best is Saturday the 15th morning for the glassy conditions, and Tuesday the 18th is the other cracker. Get out there.

Rusty.
