Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Trespassers. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent and set up for a south-southwest swell, and it's an advanced wave. The water temp is sitting around 59°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The window opens up Saturday the 29th. It’s not a big day, we’re looking at a clean 3-foot swell from the SW with a 13-second period, and the energy is weak (278). Wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE, so it’s clean and lined up. Not a standout, but it’s a fun little start to the run.

Sunday the 30th is more of the same, maybe a touch smaller. The morning shows a 3-foot SSW swell (12 seconds), energy still weak (339). The afternoon steps it up a bit with a 2-foot SSW swell but check out the period – 19 seconds of groundswell with energy jumping to 514. That’s a long period for a small wave, meaning it’ll have some punch on the reef. Winds are light offshore, so it’s clean.

Monday the 31st is where things get interesting. Morning brings a 4-foot SSW swell at 16 seconds, and the energy is moderate at 1229. Winds are a gentle cross-offshore from the NE, keeping it clean. The afternoon is the real standout for the first week: 5-foot SSW swell, 18-second period, and energy jumping to 1551. The wind is light and cross-off. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, and the long period groundswell will really wrap around the reef. This is the best bet in the first week.

Then things go messy. From Tuesday the 1st right through to the 8th, the wind shifts onshore and cross-shore, and the swell gets bigger but the quality disappears. Tuesday the 1st is a write-off with strong cross-shore winds. The wind stays onshore or cross-shore for days, blowing out the surf. Even though the swell builds to 12 feet by the 7th and 8th with huge energy (over 6000), the wind is so bad it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. This is a big gap in quality.

Things start to look up again on the 9th, but it’s still marginal. The afternoon of the 9th shows a 6-foot SW swell at 15 seconds, with a gentle cross-shore wind. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction.

The next real standout is shaping up for Saturday the 12th. Both the morning and afternoon are looking excellent. The morning has a 7-foot SSW swell with a 16-second period, moderate offshore wind from the E, and solid energy (2032). The afternoon holds at 6-foot SSW with the same wind and still strong energy (1677). This is a proper session for experienced surfers – clean, powerful, and well-angled.

Sunday the 13th is a nice way to wrap it up. The morning is glassy, with a 5-foot SW swell at 14 seconds. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 4-foot SW swell. It’s a smaller, easier day to finish on.

So, the standout is Monday afternoon the 31st of August for the first week, and Saturday the 12th of September for the second week. Both offer clean, powerful groundswell on the reef, but the Saturday session is the bigger, more consistent wave.
