Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew through what’s on the menu for the next couple weeks.

We’re easing into things at Trespassers, a reef break for the advanced crew that’s fairly dependable when the swell hits from the SSW. That first real look is Monday morning, July 6th. The water’s about 15°, right where it should be, nothing out of the ordinary. You’ve got a clean 3ft SSW groundswell with a gentle offshore breeze, making it a real nice little window. The energy is pretty weak (330), but that combo of clean lines and offshore breath is a good way to start the week. It fades a bit by the afternoon.

The standout early on is Tuesday, July 7th. Morning is a solid 3ft with a 16-second period and a steady offshore wind – energy picks up (436). But the afternoon is where it’s at: the swell bumps to 4ft from the SW, still with moderate offshore wind, and the energy gets into a moderate range (544). That’s your top session early on.

Wednesday the 8th gets bigger and beefy. Morning comes in at 6ft of very long-period SSW groundswell (18 seconds, energy 1837), but the wind goes cross-offshore. It’s clean, but that long period makes it a heavy, straight-hit reef. Experts only. The afternoon is a touch smaller at 5ft with lighter cross-off winds and still good quality (1229 energy). It’s not my first call, but it’s got power.

Thursday the 9th is back to a fun 3ft in the morning with light cross-off winds (443 energy). Afternoon is 3ft but the wind goes cross-shore, so it gets messy.

Now, from Friday the 10th through about the 15th, it’s a write-off. Strong winds, onshore, rain, everything turning to garbage. The swell gets big – up to 7ft on the 12th and 12ft by the 21st – but with near-gale winds, it’s just storm slop. The energy values hit 3737 and 5090, but with those winds, you’d be a fool to paddle out. That’s kite territory for sure.

After a long dry spell, Thursday, July 16th finally turns a corner. Morning brings a clean 4ft SW swell with a gentle offshore breeze out of the ESE at 15 seconds (623 energy). That’s a real surfable window. The afternoon holds clean at 4ft with an even lighter cross-off flow (553 energy). That’s your next best bet.

Friday the 17th is smaller, just 3ft, but the morning is clean with light offshore conditions (290 energy). Rideable, but not a standout.

Then from the 18th on, it’s messy again. Winds pick up, cross-shore and cross-onshore, chop, and eventually strong breezes. The 19th afternoon is a blown-out 8ft with near-gale wind – no thanks. The 21st has 10ft with strong cross-shore chop (4427 energy), but again, the conditions ruin it.

So, to bottom line it: Tuesday, July 7th afternoon is your best early call – clean, moderate energy, proper wind. And then Thursday, July 16th morning is the next real window after a long stretch of junk.

Keep your eyes on the horizon.
