Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, dialing in the local lineup for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a bit of a tricky one.

Right now, the water temp is sitting about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The action starts off a bit rough. Wednesday the 12th is a write-off with a strong, lumpy, cross-onshore mess. That solid 8ft SW groundswell is just getting thrashed by the wind. We've got a lot of energy in the water (4170) but it's not for paddling, this is more of a kite-surfing kind of setup. A big, long-period groundswell like this will be walling up on the beach, so it's no good for the average surfer anyway.

The next couple of days into Thursday and Friday are still marginal. The swell holds around 7ft, but it's onshore or light cross-onshore, keeping the quality way down. The energy is still strong (over 1800), but it's messy.

Finally, things start to clean up for the weekend. Saturday morning, August 15th is the first real standout. A clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ESE will groom the dropping 6ft SSW swell. The energy is still moderate (1415), and the conditions are clean. This is a good window for experienced surfers, as that 6ft is a proper size. The long 16-second period will have good power, but it might be a bit straight at the beach, so be aware.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th see the swell drop, but the wind stays clean. Monday afternoon is a real sleeper: a 4ft SW swell with a clean offshore breeze, and the energy is moderate (848). The conditions are described as very good, and with a 16-second period, it'll be a fun, manageable, and clean day.

We then hit a bit of a lull from the 18th through the 21st. The swell goes flat, the wind gets messy, and the energy drops to weak levels. It's a dry spell.

Then, on the 22nd, we get a pulse back. Saturday afternoon, August 22nd is a solid call. A 5ft SW swell with a clean offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy is moderate (1017), and the conditions are very good. This is a nice, clean option.

The 23rd and 24th are a write-off again with a strong SSW swell (7ft) and nasty cross-onshore winds. That energy is huge (4942) but it's all for the wind.

The real magic might be in the longer range. Tuesday afternoon, August 25th is a serious standout. The wind goes glassy, completely calm. A 7ft SW groundswell with glassy conditions is a rare treat. The energy is strong (2303). This is excellent for experienced surfers, but the perfect conditions will make it a memorable session. It's a long-range call, so it's a promise, but it's a good one.

After that, the 26th and 27th look like a messy drop-off with onshore winds and weak energy, so the window closes.

Rusty.
