Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's shaping up for Trestraou.
To be straight with you, the next two weeks are a real mixed bag. We're looking at a long, flat spell to start, followed by a late-arriving pulse of serious energy. You'll have to be patient, but there might be a window for the crew who are happy to chase it.
The first week or so is pretty grim. From Monday, July 13th right through to the weekend of July 26th, the surf is tiny and mostly blown out. We're talking ankle-snappers to knee-high slop at best, with cross-onshore winds. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won't be caring about that when you're staring at flat, choppy lines. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 50 or 60 until the very end of that period. Honestly, it's not worth paddling out for.
The one real standout, and it's a big one, arrives on Monday, July 27th. The wind swings offshore from the WSW, and we get a solid groundswell pushing in. Monday morning sees a 7ft swell from the west (8-second period), ramping up to 8ft from the WNW by the afternoon. The combined energy jumps to 650 and then 792 – that's a proper surge of power. The wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is a legitimate session for the experienced crew. If you're a beginner, that 8ft is too much, so sit this one out.
Tuesday, July 28th, gets even bigger. The morning is 10ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and clean, cross-offshore wind from the west. The combined energy is a massive 1597. That's a lot of water moving. It's an expert-only day. The swell period is a bit middling, so it might be a bit walled up at the beach break, but the power is undeniable. The afternoon sees it drop slightly to 8ft, still with strong energy at 1635, but the wind goes cross-shore, making it a bit messier.
So, the call: wait it out. The first 13 days are a write-off. The best of the run is Monday, July 27th, and Tuesday, July 28th. Monday looks the cleanest with the offshores. Get on it if you've got the skills.
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.
