Table - best surf conditions forecast for Trespassers over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break down the next sixteen days at Trespassers.
Honestly, it’s a grim start. From Saturday the 11th right through to the 23rd, it’s mostly a write-off. We’ve got a big SW swell pushing through, with combined wave energy readings over 3000 (moderate to strong), but the wind is ruining it. It’s onshore, cross-onshore, or just messy, with winds up to 30 mph. The surf quality is poor or marginal. Not much to get excited about.
Then we get a proper window. Wednesday the 15th is the first real standout. The swell is a clean 4 to 5 feet from the SSW, with a long 15-second period – that’s groundswell. The wind goes light offshore from the NE, and by the afternoon it’s glassy. That’s your window for clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is around 838 to 1042 (moderate). It’s a reef break, so it’ll handle that long period well. It’s for advanced surfers, and it’s fairly consistent. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
After that, it gets a bit choppy again, but then we see another proper run. Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th of July look excellent. On the 24th, we’ve got a 6-foot SSW swell with a 15-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the SSE. Clean and solid. The combined energy is around 1380 (moderate). The 25th is even better: a 5 to 6-foot SSW swell, with a light offshore wind from the E, turning glassy in the afternoon. That’s prime. The energy is around 1126 to 1219. These are the best days. It’s solid but not too big for experienced surfers.
The last day, Sunday the 26th, has a cleaner 4-foot SSW swell with a gentle offshore breeze, but it’s smaller.
So, the first 11 days are a bust. The best surf is on Wednesday the 15th, and then a proper run from Thursday the 24th through Saturday the 26th of July. The 24th and 25th are the real standouts. Get after it.

Information about the Trespassers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trespassers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trespassers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trespassers surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Trespassers) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Trespassers may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
