Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a look at the next stretch. It’s a bit of a slow burn, to be honest. There’s a patchy start, a couple of decent days in the middle, and then things get pretty messy out there. The water temp is sitting at 58.5°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit is the same as always.

First real window of interest kicks off on Saturday the 15th. We’ve got a solid SSW groundswell running at 5.6ft, with a long 16-second period. The wind is offshore from the ESE, light and clean. That’s a proper combo at Trespassers (reef). The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so you might get lucky and have it to yourself, but be ready for a few others. This is the standout of the first week. The energy is moderate to strong, coming in at 1339. It’s a good one.

Sunday the 16th pulls back a bit, dropping to 3.9ft but still with that clean offshore ESE breeze. It’s smaller, a bit more relaxed, good for getting some fun ones without too much hassle. The energy drops to 614, so it’s weaker but still clean. Monday the 17th looks similar, 3.9ft of SW swell with a long 16-second period and a gentle offshore flow, ENE in the arvo. Clean again, but the size is on the smaller side, energy at 770 and 839. It’s worth a paddle if you just want to get wet.

Then we hit a wall on Tuesday the 18th. The wind swings to a fresh NNE breeze, cross-off. It’s clean but the swell drops right down to 3.6ft and the energy fades to 811. It’s okay, but nothing to write home about. From the 19th onwards, it gets a bit hopeless. The swell is small, the wind gets messy, onshore and lumpy. There’s a bit of a pulse forecast for the 22nd, with 4.6ft of SW swell and energy at 1090, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore NW, making it total slop. Not for the paddle.

There’s another pulse around the 25th, with the swell bumping up to 4.9ft and a very long 19-second period, energy jumping to 2265. The wind is a fresh cross-shore from the N, which keeps it lumpy and cross-chop. Looks more like a kite session than a surf. The run of poor conditions continues right through to the 28th, where things just fade out. So, the takeaway is: get on it early, Saturday the 15th is your best bet, then a couple of smaller, clean ones after. After that, it’s a waiting game.
