Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the surf ahead for Trespassers. The water’s sitting at 59° which is about par for the course this time of year, nothing weird going on there. Now, the next week and a bit is a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s break it down.

We start off slow. Tuesday arvo is basically a write-off with a cross-onshore breeze and only 5ft of messy, short-period swell. You’d be fighting it more than surfing it. Wednesday isn’t much better, with a solid 7ft to 7ft of SSW swell but onshore winds and a marginal feel to it. Not worth a paddle.

Then there’s a glimmer on Thursday morning. The easterly wind swings offshore, and we get a clean 6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. The energy is moderate at 1713, but the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the first real standout for the week. Thursday arvo stays clean too, with 5ft and offshore winds, very good conditions. Friday sees a drop in size to around 4ft, but it’s still clean with light offshore winds. Good, but not as good as Thursday.

The weekend gets a bit trickier. Saturday is clean but smaller, with 4ft and a cross-off wind. Sunday drops further to 3ft and gets cross-shore, so I’d give it a miss. Monday is flat and choppy, so the run from Sunday through Monday is the first real gap. You’re looking at a couple of days with nothing on offer.

Now, the second week brings some serious promise. Tuesday the 15th sees a return of clean conditions, with 5ft SSW swell and offshore winds – very good again. Wednesday the 16th is another cracker, with 5ft SW swell, a 16-second period, and light offshore winds in the morning. That’s clean, lined-up surf.

But the big news is the Tuesday the 22nd. After a few days of onshore junk, the wind swings offshore in the arvo and we get a solid 8ft SW swell with an 18-second period. The energy is strong at 5901. This is the standout of the whole period, and it’s for experienced surfers only. It’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but less certain. The morning of the 22nd is also good at 8ft but with a cross-off wind. The 23rd holds in the 7ft range but with more wind, so it’s not as clean.

Remember, that big 8ft+ stuff is only for the experts. Unless you’re confident, stay in close or wait for the smaller days.

Keep an eye on that offshore on the 22nd, that’s the one I’d be circling on the calendar.

Rusty.
