The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Trestraou, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some swell on the horizon, but the wind is gonna be a constant battle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, which is fine.
The first decent pulse comes in on Sunday, August 30. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the west, with a 9-second period bumpin’ through. The wind is a moderate offshore from the southwest, so the morning session is actually clean. There’s moderate wave energy (371) pushin’ in, but it’s not a world-beater. The surf is just surfable, nothing to write home about.
Monday, August 31, sees a big jump in size. The swell hits 8ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, and the energy is gettin’ solid (1232). But the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the WNW, and it’ll be lumpy and choppy. Not great. Tuesday morning, September 1, the wind backs off a bit to a gentle breeze from the WSW, and the swell drops to 4ft. It’s a cross-offshore wind, so it’s clean, but the wave energy is a weak 281. It’s surfable, but ordinary.
Things get a bit interesting on Saturday, September 5. The morning is glassy – a slight air from the southwest, which is a major positive. The swell is 6ft from the WNW with a 11-second period, a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (643). This is the standout of the first week. Clean, decent size, and a long period that’ll wrap in nicely. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The second week has a few moments. Thursday, September 10, the afternoon glass off again with a light breeze from the ENE. The swell is a small 4ft from the west with an 8-second period, but it’s glassy. The wave energy is low (218), so it’s a longboard or a funboard session. Then, the real one to watch is Friday, September 11. The morning brings a 7ft swell from the west with a 12-second period, a very long period groundswell. The energy is strong (1277). The wind is a moderate offshore from the southwest, so it’ll be clean. This is the best of the whole run. It’s a big swell, but over 8ft it’s for experts only, and 7ft is in that sweet spot for experienced surfers. The long period will make it a bit straight at the beach, but it’s definitely worth a paddle.
Saturday, September 12, gets a bit wild. The swell is 10ft from the west with a 10-second period, but the wind is a fresh breeze from the west, and the afternoon is a near gale at 31 mph. Too big and too messy for a paddle. Kite surfers might be having a field day, but for us, it’s a no-go.
The rest of the second week is a write-off with smaller swell and cross-shore winds. No real standouts. So, to sum it up: the best windows are Saturday morning, September 5, and Friday morning, September 11. The 11th is the real gem, if the forecast holds.
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.
