The Lowdown
Alright, let's switch to feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re looking at Trespassers, and it’s a long wait for the real prize. The water is about 58°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The first good window hits Saturday, the 15th of August. We’ve got a solid 6ft SSW groundswell (16-second period) with a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is high at 1322, but it’s an advanced reef, so don’t be a hero.
Sunday the 16th is clean with offshore wind and a 4ft SSW swell, but the energy drops to 614. Monday the 17th is the early winner: 4ft to 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and clean offshore winds. The energy is moderate (705 to 952), making for very good surf.
After that, it gets rough. Tuesday through Friday the 21st is a washout with onshore winds and chop. Don’t bother.
Now, for the big one. On Sunday, the 23rd of August, the wind goes glassy, and we get a 7ft SW groundswell. The combined energy is a massive 3025. This is a heavy, powerful wave for experts only. The conditions will be absolutely perfect.
Monday the 24th has a 7ft SSW swell with 18-second period, but with a cross-offshore breeze. Strong energy at 2605, but not as clean as Sunday. The final days of the month show a return to smaller, cleaner surf around 3ft to 4ft, but nothing to get excited about.
Rusty out.

Information about the Trespassers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trespassers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trespassers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trespassers surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Trespassers) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Trespassers may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
