Trestrignel Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Trestrignel over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, this is a tough stretch. Trestrignel is a sheltered little spot that needs the right angle, and for most of this outlook, it just ain't getting it. We've got a long, frustrating gap coming, so don't get your hopes up for a while.

The first real chance of getting wet doesn't come around until Tuesday, July 28th. We'll see a small pulse of WNW swell nudging in at around 3 ft, but the standout here is the morning wind. A light 6 mph breeze from the east is blowing cross-offshore, and the report is calling it clean. The combined energy is weak at 136, so it's not going to be powerful, but for a spot that's been flat and blown out, a clean little wave on a log or a fun board is the best we've got. That afternoon, the wind swings and it's gone.

After that, the wait continues. There's a tiny glimmer of hope on Monday, August 3rd with the morning session. The wind is set to be glassy, with a 3 mph breeze from the northeast, and the swell is still small at 3 ft out of the west, with weak energy (78). It's a proper flat spell for beginners, but that clean surface would make it worth a paddle if you're desperate for a few tiny ones.

Then we get one more flicker. On Tuesday, August 4th in the afternoon, a small 4 ft W swell shows up with a 6 mph cross-offshore breeze from the SW. The energy is moderate at 135, and it's clean. Again, not big, but for Trestrignel in this pattern, a clean, surfable wave is a win.

Wednesday, August 5th morning is the only time the swell gets near the fun zone, with 5 ft out of the WNW and a moderate 12 mph offshore wind from the south. The combined energy is a moderate 211. The period is short (7 seconds), so it'll be a bit lumpy and fat, but with clean conditions, someone who knows the bank might grab a couple. For everyone else, it's not worth the effort.

Looking further into the first week of August, there's just nothing. The swell is tiny, the winds are onshore or cross, and the energy is weak. It’s a real desert. If you are a kite surfer, some of those afternoon blows might get you going, but for a paddle surfer at Trestrignel, this is a full-on blank run. Forecasts can shift, but as it stands, there's a whole lot of staring at flat water ahead.

Rusty.
