Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the 16-day picture for Trespassers.

This stretch is a real mixed bag, with a lot of waiting involved. The first few days are a write-off, so don't bother paddling out just yet. The real action starts to build from the 8th, with a couple of standout windows for the experienced crew. There's a big gap in the middle where the wind and swell just don't line up, and then a promising finish towards the end of the window.

The Early Days (6th & 7th): Forget it. The 6th is a total mess with onshore slop and wave energy that's just not there (1215). The swell is there but the wind's wrecking it. The 7th drops right off in size to about 3ft, but the wind switches offshore and it's clean. The energy is weak (327), so it's a tiny, clean wave for a longboard if you're desperate, but not worth a special trip.

The Main Event (8th – 10th): This is where it gets interesting. Tuesday the 8th morning is a standout. You've got a solid 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 17 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, and the wave energy is ramping up into the moderate zone (1352). This is a proper reef wave setting up beautiful, powerful lines. The period is long, so be patient for the sets. This is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon on the 8th gets choppy and rubbish, so it's a morning mission.

The 9th is a strange one. The swell is big – 7ft to 7ft from the SSW with a massive 19-second period and very strong energy (2753). The wind is a strong cross-offshore, which will keep it clean, but that's a serious amount of water moving. That's big, powerful, and only for the most experienced. The 10th is absolute gold. Thursday morning has 6ft SSW swell, great energy (1881), and a clean cross-off breeze. The afternoon is even better – glassy, offshore conditions with 6ft SSW swell and a period of 16 seconds. The energy is still strong (1369). This is the best two-day window of the whole forecast. Get on it.

The Mid-Range Lull (11th – 14th): After that, the swell fades. The 11th and 12th are clean but small (3-4ft), and the energy drops off (598). The 13th is a bit messy with cross-shore winds, but the afternoon cleans up. The 14th is a total write-off again with strong onshore winds.

The Comeback (15th – 21st): Tuesday the 15th morning sees a big spike back up to 7ft SW swell with very strong energy (2320) and light cross-offshore winds. That's a big, powerful, clean wave for experts only. The afternoon gets blown onshore. Then we have a few days of average to poor conditions until the 21st. Monday the 21st is the final highlight. The morning has 6ft SW swell, light offshore winds, and strong energy (1366). The afternoon is a dream – glassy conditions with a 6ft SW swell that has a period of 16 seconds and very strong energy (1654). It's a clean, powerful, beautiful finish to the outlook.

The water temperature is sitting at 59°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

So, to sum it up: the absolute best windows are the mornings of the 8th, the 10th (especially the afternoon), and the whole day of the 21st. The 15th morning is also a big one for the hardcore crew. Everything else is a wait-and-see.
