The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Well, I’ve looked at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The only spot we’ve got on the radar is Trestraou, and even then, it’s a real struggle to find a window that’s worth paddling out for.
The water is sitting at 66°F right now, just a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice, but the swell just isn't cooperating.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn't show up until the morning of the 5th of August. We’ve got some swell coming in, but it’s a short-period 4ft W swell with moderate energy (209). The wind is clean, cross-off from the west, but the wave comment is still calling it poor. It’s a “maybe” for a desperate session, but nothing to get excited about.
The 5th afternoon sees the swell bump up to 5ft from the west, period still short at 8 seconds, and energy climbing to 255. But the wind swings cross-shore, making it a bit messy. This is still a tough call.
The 6th of August offers the biggest swell of the window, with 5ft from the WNW early in the morning, and energy at 266. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the NNW, making it choppy. It’s a frustrating combo – some size, but poor conditions.
After that, it’s a real mess. The 7th drops off completely, and the next week is filled with onshore winds, weak, short-period swell, and the occasional clean moment isn't backed by enough wave energy. The 12th of August has a clean morning with light southeast winds, but the swell is only 2ft. The 13th and 14th have some 3ft to 3ft swell, but it’s always a cross or cross-on wind, keeping the surface bumpy.
Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon of the 5th and the 6th might look interesting with that 5ft to 5ft swell and moderate winds, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a bleak outlook. There’s no standout session here. We’re looking at a good week and a half of nothing really worth calling a surf.
This is one of those times where the forecast can change, but right now, I’d save the wax for another day.
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.
