Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking over what’s in store for us over the next couple of weeks at Trespassers. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real gems hiding in there if you’re patient.

Right off the bat, the forecast is a bit quiet, so don’t expect much this weekend. We’ve got a long wait ahead. From Saturday the 12th right through until Tuesday the 15th, the conditions are just too messy or the wind is all wrong. It’s going to be a frustrating few days with nothing really worth paddling out for.

Things start to turn around on Wednesday the 16th. That morning and afternoon look like the first real standout of the period. The swell is coming from the SSW at a solid 6 ft to 5 ft with a long 15-second period – proper groundswell energy. The wind swings offshore from the ESE, which will keep things clean. The wave energy is moderate to strong (1190 to 1132), so there’s plenty of push. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It’s an advanced spot, so not one for beginners at this size. Keep an eye on the crowds though – they show up here sometimes. The water temp is sitting at 59°F, which is about average for this time of year.

We then get a bit of a lull Thursday and Friday with smaller, cleaner waves but nothing massive. The next real standout pops up on Monday the 21st. The morning is clean with a cross-off breeze and a 5 ft SSW swell (821 wave energy). But the afternoon session is the one to circle – the same size swell, 5 ft from the SW, with a gentle cross-off wind and a combined energy of 1457. That’s moderate to strong energy, and the forecast suggests excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The wind is light, so it’ll be glassy. Again, crowds are possible.

Then we get another cracker on Tuesday the 22nd. The morning has a 7 ft SSW swell with a fresh offshore wind. That’s getting into the expert-only territory for size at this break, but if you’ve got the skill, it’s a prime window. The afternoon is slightly smaller at 6 ft but still excellent. The energy readings are strong (1956 and 1743). The 16-second period is very long, which is a bonus for a reef setup like this.

There’s a little more fun to be had on Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th with cleaner, smaller SSW swell, but the next big, bold event is Thursday the 24th afternoon. That’s a tricky one – a 7 ft swell with a 21-second period, coming from the SSW. That’s an incredibly long period, and the energy is massive (4039). The wind is very light though, so it might be glassy. That size and period is for experts only, and it will be super clean but very powerful.

After that, things get blown out by onshore winds and get much bigger – the 25th and 27th see swell over 8 ft and even up to 10 ft, but with strong onshore wind, making it a poor choice for surfing. That’s more a kite-surfing setup if anything.

So to sum it up: your best bets are Wednesday the 16th for the first clean, proper swell, and then Monday the 21st through Wednesday the 23rd for consistent, clean conditions with great energy. The 22nd is the one that really stands out if you’re an expert.

Rusty.
