Trespassers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s cooking. For the next stretch, the first real window of opportunity opens up on Wednesday the 9th of September, but it’s pretty average to start. That early pulse is a solid 7ft 2in of SSW groundswell, but it’s coming with a fresh cross-offshore breeze, and it’s a bit raw. The water temp is sitting at 59° which is pretty much spot on for the time of year.

After that first pulse, things clean up nicely. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are the pick of the first week. Thursday morning has that swell easing to 5ft 11in, but the wind is properly offshore out of the ESE at 19 mph. The afternoon drops a touch to 5ft 3in, but the easterly is still offshore at 12 mph, and the surf report says it’s going to be very good. Friday is even cleaner with lighter offshore winds, 9 mph and 6 mph, holding that 4ft 3in of SSW swell. The energy is moderate, but the quality is there. These are the days to be out there.

The swell backs off over the weekend, and Sunday the 13th is a write-off with cross-shore winds and poor surf. Monday the 14th is no better with onshore flow. We’re looking at a bit of a dead patch there for a couple of days.

Then Tuesday the 15th brings a fresh pulse of 5ft 7in SSW groundswell. Afternoon is the go, with a gentle offshore breeze and “very good” conditions on the card. That little run holds into Wednesday the 16th as well, with solid energy and light winds. Thursday afternoon the 17th is worth a mention, too – it’s a smaller 3ft 11in, but the wind goes glassy with a slight air, and that’s always a treat.

The swell dips again over the 19th and into the 20th, and it’s not worth chasing. There’s another flat-ish spell until the 22nd, when a 3ft 7in SW swell shows up, but the winds are mixed.

Keep your eyes on the back half of the window. The standout looks like Wednesday the 24th of September. It’s over a week away, so I wouldn’t book the time off just yet, but the models are showing a 6ft 11in SW groundswell, long-period at 15 seconds, and the wind is forecast to be glassy in the morning. The energy is set to be very strong. It’s the biggest, cleanest option on the board. It’s a reef break, and with that size and period, it’s going to have some serious push, so this is one for the advanced crew. It’s a promising long-range call, but we’ll need to see how it firms up.

The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of clean, smaller surf and onshore days. Thursday the 24th afternoon drops to 5ft 7in with a cross-offshore, still fun, but that morning window is the one.
