The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our local stretch.
I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a real struggle. We’ve got a long, flat, and messy run ahead. The first real window of opportunity doesn’t show up until Sunday, July 26th, and even then, it’s not exactly a classic. For the first few days, we’re looking at tiny, weak swell, mostly under 1 foot, with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore wind. It’s a bleak start, so don’t bother paddling out until then.
Alright, let’s get into it. The only break on the cards is Trestraou. It’s a sheltered spot, so it needs a solid push from the west-northwest to really work. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Sunday, July 26th is the first day we see a pulse of energy. The morning brings a 5 foot swell from the west-northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 212, and we get a clean, cross-offshore wind from the west. That’s a rare treat. The waves will be a bit short-period and a little jumbled, but it will be clean. By the afternoon, the swell bumps up to 6 feet, and the energy jumps to 355, but the wind swings to a cross-shore from the west-northwest at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. The morning is your best window here, but it’s not a standout.
Monday, July 27th hangs in there with a 5 foot swell in the morning, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the north, making it fairly choppy. The energy is strong at 330, but the quality drops off. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 4 feet. Not great.
Then we hit another flat spell. From Tuesday, July 28th through to the end of the period, we’re back to small, weak surf. The swell drops to 2 feet or 2 feet from the 29th to the 1st of August, with a few clean windows in the cross-offshore wind, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. The combined energy is in the double digits or low triple digits, which is weak.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Wednesday, August 5th – the morning goes glassy, with no wind. The swell is 4 feet but from the east-northeast, which is a terrible direction for Trestraou. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s just wind slop. The energy is moderate at 109, but it’s not going to offer any shape.
Honestly, the best session on offer is the morning of Sunday, July 26th. It’s the only time we get a clean, ridable wave with a bit of size. The rest of the forecast is a write-off. If you’re desperate, you can go for a paddle on the 26th morning, but don’t expect much. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game.
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.

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.
