Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the waves on the way at Trespassers – the only show in town for this forecast period. This is an advanced reef break, so we’re not messing around with learner waves. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

We’ve got a solid run of surf starting this Sunday the 23rd. The early call is for a clean 5 ft SW groundswell with a very long 17-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy reading is strong at 1433. This kind of long-period swell can stand up and pitch nicely on a reef like Trespassers. With a light cross-offshore breeze, this is the standout session – excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon drops a touch to 5 ft but stays clean.

Monday the 24th sees the swell ease back to 3 ft in the morning with moderate energy (312). The wind is cross-off, so it’s still clean but much smaller. By afternoon, the wind goes offshore but the swell is down to 2 ft – rideable but nothing to get excited about.

Tuesday the 25th is a write-off. The swell bumps up to 6 ft in the morning but the wind is howling from the SSW at 15 mph, making it a messy cross-shore chop. Afternoon gets worse with a cross-onshore wind and a 5 ft swell that’s just poor. Combined energy is high (2301 and 1384), but the quality is rubbish.

Wednesday the 26th is a nothing day – small 4 ft swell and light cross-onshore winds. Thursday the 27th gets interesting again though. The morning is small at 2 ft but with a very long 21-second period – that’s a tease, really. The afternoon pumps up to 5 ft with a 20-second period and a combined energy of 1813. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s marginal but has serious potential if the sets line up.

Friday the 28th is another standout. Morning brings 6 ft SW groundswell at 17 seconds, combined energy at 1713, and a light cross-offshore breeze. Clean, powerful, and for the experienced crew only. Afternoon stays clean with 5 ft and offshore wind – very good surf.

Saturday the 29th is smaller again, 4 ft in the morning and clean, but nothing special. Sunday the 30th has a glassy afternoon session with 4 ft SSW swell and a 16-second period – the combined energy is 1152 and with glassy conditions, that’s a beautiful window if you’re after clean lines.

Monday the 31st has a 6 ft SSW swell in the morning but with cross-shore wind, it’s marginal. Afternoon is similar. From Tuesday the 1st of September onward, things turn ugly. Strong onshore winds and choppy conditions dominate right through to Monday the 7th. There’s a spike of 8 ft on the 7th but with a strong cross-onshore wind, it’s just a big mess – not worth it.

So the two real standouts are Sunday morning the 23rd with that long-period 5 ft SW groundswell and clean conditions, and Friday the 28th with 6 ft of clean, offshore groomed swell. Those are the sessions to circle on the calendar. The rest is either small, windy, or both. Trespassers is fairly consistent, so the gaps aren’t huge, but the second week looks bleak.

Stay on it,
Rusty
