Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright mate, let’s talk about the only wave in the house – Trespassers.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag here. We kick things off with small, clean waves, but then the wind turns nasty for a solid stretch. The best of it is all up front.

Monday 6th July afternoon sees a modest 3ft SSW swell at 14 seconds rolling in. It’s not big, but with an easterly breeze going offshore, the surface will be glassy. The wave energy is moderate at 233, and the water is a normal 60°F for this time of year, nothing weird. It’s surfable and clean, but nothing to write home about.

Tuesday 7th July is where we get the standout. The morning has 3ft SSW swell at a beefy 16 seconds – proper groundswell – and by the afternoon it bumps to 4ft from the SW. The wind stays offshore from the ENE all day, and the combined energy climbs to 544. This is the pick of the forecast: clean, building swell, and that long period will make for some nice, lined-up waves. A good day to be in the water.

From Wednesday 8th July, it gets tricky. The swell jumps to 6ft Wednesday morning, but the wind goes cross-offshore, so it’s still clean. That 18-second period is very long – this will be a proper groundswell, but it might break a bit too straight at Trespassers, which is a reef setup, so it could still work. The afternoon gets a solid 5ft cross-off and clean, with a score that suggests excellent conditions for experienced surfers. The combined energy hits 1371 – solid moderate energy.

Then it all goes south. From Thursday 9th July right through to Tuesday 15th July, the wind either goes cross, cross-on, or onshore, and the swell gets messy or just too big with poor conditions. The weekend of the 11th and 12th sees 7ft to 8ft swells, but it’s blown out, lumpy, and not worth it for a paddle. For a week, the setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

There’s a flicker of hope on Thursday 16th July morning. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE cleans it right up. Combined energy is 801, and conditions look very good. But that’s the only bright spot in the second week.

After that, from Friday 17th July onwards, it’s mostly poor again: strong winds, cross-chop, and blown-out conditions through to the end of the window on Tuesday 21st July.

So, bottom line: Tuesday 7th July is the day to circle. Offshore wind, clean, building groundswell. Get out there early.
