Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Trestraou over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a long, dry spell for the most part. The first real chance to surf doesn’t show up until Monday, July 27th, so you’re looking at a solid two-week gap with nothing worth paddling for. The surf is tiny, weak, or just plain messy through the whole first half of the forecast. Hang tight, because forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s pretty grim.
The only break that gets a look-in is Trestraou, and it’s an inconsistent spot that rarely breaks, so when it does, it’s notable. The water temperature is sitting around 66°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – about 4°F above average, so you’ll notice it’s a bit balmy.
The standout – and I mean the only real chance – is Monday, July 27th. The morning shows a solid pulse: 6ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s moderate energy (803) and it’s right on the edge of being too big for beginners. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it should be clean. The swell direction is straight from the west, which is a good match for this west-facing break. The afternoon bumps up to 7ft, but it gets a bit cross-onshore, making it choppier and strictly for the experienced crew. Given the size, this is expert territory in the afternoon. Crowds are possible, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
If you’re into kite surfing, the whole period before the 27th is a write-off for waves too, with strong winds and tiny surf, so no real trade-off.
The 20th of July shows a brief 3ft from the northeast with a short 5-second period, but it’s cross-shore and messy. Not worth the drive.
So, the call is: wait for the 27th of July, hit the morning session at Trestraou for the biggest and cleanest waves of the whole outlook. After that, the swell fades again. That’s your one shot.
Rusty.

Information about the Trestraou Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trestraou provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trestraou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trestraou 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 (Trestraou) 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 Trestraou 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.
