Trestrignel Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks – Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks around Trestrignel. Honestly, straight out of the gate, we’re looking at a pretty bleak picture. The wind is a mess for days, and the surf is mostly junk. You’ll be lucky to get a few clean windows.

The first real highlight, and really the only one that stands out until the very end, is the morning of Monday the 14th. It’s not a monster swell, but for a session that’s actually surfable, this is the one. We’ve got a 3 ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a weak 184 (moderate). The wind is a light offshore from the southwest at 9 mph, which will keep it glassy and clean. The water is 65°F with an anomaly of 3°F, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The crowds here are always present, so don’t expect solitude. It’s a fairly consistent beginner spot, and this little window is about as good as it gets for a while.

After that, we hit a big gap. The next few days are riddled with onshore winds and poor conditions. The morning of Tuesday the 15th has a clean offshore wind from the SSE at 9 mph, but the swell is only 2 ft from the west, with a period of 8 seconds. It’s weak, small, and the energy is a very low 112 (weak). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for waves.

Things get a bit more interesting later on, but the quality is still a problem. The morning of Wednesday the 23rd is the standout for the second week. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the WNW, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 458 (moderate). The kicker is the wind: it’s glassy, with a 9 mph offshore from the NW. That’s going to be clean, lined-up waves. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is a bit west of the optimum swell direction of NW, but it’s good enough. This is the one to circle for a proper session, but remember it’s a long-range call, so it’s a promising prospect but not a guarantee.

The rest of the second week is a write-off, with onshore winds and poor conditions dominating. The morning of Thursday the 24th has a clean offshore wind from the SSE at 10 mph, but the swell is only 4 ft, and the energy is a weak 359 (moderate).

So, the overall story is grim. A few tiny windows on the 14th and 15th, then a massive gap until the 23rd, which is the only true standout. If you’re a beginner, the 14th might be your best bet. For everyone else, hold out for the 23rd and hope the forecast holds.
