Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for Trespassers over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water’s running a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. But the surf? Man, it’s a slow start. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about from Friday the 24th right through the end of July. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is small and messy. It’s a bit of a write-off for paddle surfing. The combined energy is weak to moderate at best, but the conditions are just too choppy and wind-affected. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.

We finally get a glimmer of hope on Thursday the 30th. The morning shows clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The swell is a small 4 ft from the SSW, but the combined energy is only 435, so it’s not powerful. Still, it’s glassy and clean. The afternoon turns glassy with a 3 ft SSW swell and 306 combined energy. It’s tiny, but it’s the best we’ve seen.

Friday the 31st morning keeps that clean theme going with a cross-offshore breeze and a 2 ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 20 seconds. The combined energy is 588. That long period means the waves will have shape and energy, but at this size, it’s going to be super mellow. The afternoon gets a bit of a bump to 4 ft from the SSW, but the wind swings cross-shore and it gets a little lumpy.

Now, the standout window is the first week of August. Saturday the 1st shows solid size: 6 ft in the morning, 7 ft in the afternoon, both from the SSW with a long 18-second period. The combined energy is very strong, hitting 1966 and 2562. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but the power is there. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 5 ft.

Sunday the 2nd is a bit mixed, with a 5 ft SSW swell in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon, but the wind is onshore in the afternoon, making it choppy.

The real pick of the whole forecast is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning brings a 7 ft swell from the SW with a 16-second period, and clean offshore wind from the ESE at 6 mph. The combined energy is a massive 2320. This is serious, powerful groundswell with clean conditions. The afternoon is still excellent, with a 6 ft SW swell and cross-offshore wind, giving you 1641 combined energy. This is a window for experienced surfers only—over 8 ft in the morning, so it’s expert territory. The drop-off on Tuesday the 4th is still very good, with clean offshore winds and a 4 ft SSW swell, making for a fun, manageable size.

After that, the energy fades through the rest of the week, with smaller, cleaner waves but nothing to write home about. By Friday the 7th, we’re back to poor, choppy conditions.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a wash. The best surf on offer is Monday the 3rd of August for the big, clean swell, with Tuesday the 4th as a solid backup for a bit smaller waves. Don’t get your hopes up before that.

Rusty.
