Trestraou Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and let's talk about what's on the cards for Trestraou over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet stretch. The swell window isn't really working for us, and the winds are mostly messy. We've got a real flat spell coming up, so don't get your hopes up for anything good.

Looking at the charts, the first surf on offer kicks off Thursday, July 2nd, but it's a no-go. We're looking at a moderate 6 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and a moderate cross-shore wind blowing at 12 mph. The wave energy is moderate (427), but the conditions are poor – that cross-shore wind just chops it up.

The next few days follow the same sad story. Through Friday, July 3rd, and into the weekend, the swell drops off. Friday morning has a clean-looking NE offshore wind on a 5 ft WNW swell (419 energy), but the reports say "poor surf conditions." The wind turns onshore in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday see smaller swells, dropping from 4 ft down to 2 ft, with light cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of a clean wave.

By Monday, July 6th, and Tuesday, July 7th, the swell has pretty much flat-lined. We're talking about 3 ft and then 2 ft swells with barely any energy (down to 73). The winds are a mix of cross-on and onshore, and the surf is just poor. Honestly, you'd be better off doing something else.

There's a bit of a jump on Saturday, July 11th. The morning shows a glassy 4 ft swell from the NE, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and the wave energy is still moderate (134). The report still calls it "poor surf conditions," and that short period means the waves will be weak and crumbly. I wouldn't paddle out for that.

After that, the entire second week is a write-off. From Sunday, July 12th, right through to Thursday, July 17th, the swell barely gets above 4 ft, and most days it's under 3 ft. The wind is constantly onshore or cross-onshore, often blowing a fresh 19 to 22 mph, making the water lumpy and choppy. The wave energy drops into the double digits – as low as 17 – which is basically a flat lake. There are no standouts here. The only slight highlight is a tiny 1.0 ft swell on Thursday, July 16th, afternoon with a clean, light cross-offshore wind, but it's barely a ripple.

So, the cold, hard truth is: this forecast has no good surf to recommend. It's a solid two-week blank run. For Trestraou right now, this is a normal kind of quiet spell. Forecasts can always change, but as it stands, don't bother waxing your board.
