Table - best surf conditions forecast for Trestrignel over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’m looking at the full 16-day run for Trestrignel, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. This is a sheltered spot, and we’re seeing a long gap of poor surf right from the jump. For the first eight days or so, through to about the 19th of July, it’s mostly tiny, weak swells with messy cross or cross-onshore winds. There are some bigger pulses mid-week, like Monday the 13th and the 14th, but the wind just wrecks it – fresh cross-breeze lumping it up. You’d be fighting chop, not riding waves.
The water’s sitting at 65° with a positive anomaly of 3°, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice for the wait. But honestly, there’s not a single standout session here. The only window that even gets close to decent is Tuesday morning, July 14th. We’ve got a small 5ft swell from the NE, a period of 7 seconds, but the wind goes glassy – SE at just 3 mph. That’s a rare moment of clean, glassy conditions. The combined wave energy is weak at 195, and it’s only rated as surfable but very ordinary. The swell direction (NE) is the opposite of the optimum (NW), so it’s not wrapping in well. Still, if you’re a beginner or just want a quiet paddle, that Tuesday dawn patrol is your only real look.
After that, it drops off into a desert. From July 15th all the way through the 19th, we’re talking swell heights below 3ft, often 1ft or 1ft, with energy readings in the teens and twenties. That’s not surfing – that’s a lake. Conditions stay poor.
We get a tiny bump around July 20th and 21st with some 4ft to 4ft NE swell, but again the wind is cross-on or cross, and the energy is still low (74 to 152). It’s inconsistent and messy. Then another small spike hits July 23rd afternoon, with a 8ft WNW swell and a period of 9 seconds, energy jumping to 897 – that’s moderate-strong energy. But the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-breeze, making it lumpy and awful. By July 24th, we’ve got 5ft WNW swell and rain showers, but again fresh cross-onshore winds at 22 mph. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than paddle surfing, honestly.
The last few days into the 27th show a 5 to 6ft WNW swell with moderate energy, but the wind stays cross-on or onshore, keeping it choppy. No clean standout.
So here it is: the whole 16-day window is a write-off for good waves. The only real chance to get wet is the tiny glassy window on the morning of July 14th, and even that’s just ordinary surf. Don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a flat, windy stretch for Trestrignel.

Information about the Trestrignel Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trestrignel provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trestrignel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trestrignel 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 (Trestrignel) 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 Trestrignel 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.
