Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Trespassers. This is a serious reef break, advanced territory only, and we’ve got a solid 16-day window to look at.

Right now, the surf is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some small, messy waves on Thursday the 27th with a moderate cross-shore wind, so don’t get your hopes up. The real action starts to build from Friday the 28th. That morning, we’re looking at a clean 6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and the combined energy is pumping at 1580 (moderate wave energy). It’s a good one for experienced surfers, but it’s not the standout.

The absolute pick of the window, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Monday the 31st of August. The morning session is looking prime. We’ve got a solid 5ft SSW groundswell, a long 19-second period, and light cross-offshore wind keeping it clean. The combined energy is a strong 1773, and the description says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” The offshore wind is from the ESE, which works well for this spot’s optimum direction, and with the swell coming from the SSW, it’s going to wrap in nicely. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might have a few others in the lineup, but it’ll be worth it.

Now, after that, we hit a rough patch. Tuesday the 1st of September blows up with a fresh cross-shore wind, and the quality drops right off. From Wednesday the 2nd through to the 6th of September, it’s a messy mix of onshore winds and building swell. Saturday the 5th has some light rain and a bumpy 6ft swell, but it’s not clean. Sunday the 6th is a write-off – huge 10ft SW swell, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind, it’s just a lumpy, choppy mess. That setup is more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.

But hold on, because the second week has a couple of real gems. The first is Monday the 7th of September. During the morning, we’ll see a 8ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy – that’s zero wind. The combined energy is a massive 3103 (strong wave energy), and it’s clean. That’s expert territory, but for the right crew, it’s a dream.

The true standout, though, is Tuesday the 8th of September. This is the one. The morning offers an 12ft SW swell with a 16-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and a combined energy of 5418 (very strong wave energy). The afternoon is even better: glassy conditions, same 12ft, a 17-second period, and energy at 6035. Both sessions are rated as “excellent for experienced surfers.” This is big, powerful, clean groundswell. For a reef break like Trespassers, that’s as good as it gets. The direction is spot on.

After that, the wind picks up again on the 9th and 10th, but Thursday the 10th of September afternoon has a clean 6ft SW swell with a 15-second period, light offshore wind, and energy at 2164 – not a bad little session to end the run.

So, to sum it up: the first week’s best is Monday the 31st of August morning. The overall champion, the one you should plan for, is Tuesday the 8th of September. That’s a long-range call, so it’s a bit less certain, but if it holds, it’ll be special.

Rusty.
