Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the local setup for the next couple of weeks. It’s a pretty quiet start, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet.

We’ve got one spot on the radar: Trespassers. It’s a pretty consistent reef break, but it’s an advanced wave, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. The water temp is sitting at 59°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The opening days are a bit of a write-off. Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd are just poor, with messy onshore winds and rain. Tuesday the 4th starts to look a little better, but still nothing to write home about—Tuesday afternoon sees a bit of glassy wind and a 3ft SSW swell, but it’s only a 1/10 score. Not worth the trip.

Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are small and weak, with swell under 3ft and energy in the 300-500 range. The winds are okay, but the waves just aren’t there. You’ll be bobbing around more than surfing.

Friday the 7th shows a bit of life—clean offshore winds from the NNE and a 6ft SW swell, with energy around 1580. The score is a 3/10, so it’s marginal at best. The wind is clean, but the swell quality is still a question mark.

Then we hit a big gap. Saturday the 8th through Wednesday the 12th is a total loss. Strong winds, lumpy, choppy, cross-onshore mess. That’s five days of nothing. Don’t bother.

Thursday the 13th is still rough, with an 8ft SW swell but a short period of 9 seconds and onshore wind. It’s a no-go.

Now, here’s the standout. Friday the 14th. This is the one. Friday morning kicks off with glassy conditions and a solid 10ft SSW swell. The energy is strong at 2882, but it’s the afternoon that’s the real gem. Friday afternoon: glassy, calm, with an 8ft SSW swell and a 19-second period. The combined energy is a massive 10525—that’s serious power. This is a true expert-level wave, and the conditions are exceptional. The score is an 8/10. This is the best surf on offer in the whole 16-day window. If you’re an advanced surfer, this is your moment.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are still very good, with clean, glassy conditions and solid SSW swell in the 5ft to 7ft range, with long periods of 17-19 seconds. The energy is still high, but it’s a step down from Friday. Scores are 4/10, which is still a solid session.

Monday the 17th is a bit more onshore and choppy again, but still rideable if you’re keen.

To sum it up: the first week is a bust. The second week is where it’s at, with Friday 14th August being the absolute standout. That’s the day to clear your schedule. The rest is a lot of waiting and watching.

Rusty.
