The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Trestrignel has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, this is a tough run. The 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent stand-up surfing. There’s a solid gap right from the start, with nothing worth paddling out for.
We kick off on Saturday, the 29th of August, but the swell that comes with it is a complete mess. We’re looking at a 5.6ft swell from the WSW with a short, weak 6-second period. The energy is fair at best (206). The problem is a brutal 28 mph SW wind turning it into a cross-offshore mess. The water is a touch warmer than average at 66.4°F. By Sunday the 30th, the swell drops a little to 5.2ft but with more strong wind. Monday the 31st sees the swell bump up to 7.9ft from the W, but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy, just not a good look.
This pattern of poor conditions just keeps going. We get a slight improvement on Tuesday the 1st of September with a light breeze making the 3.9ft swell from the W look clean, but the energy is weak (235) and it’s still cross-shore. The rest of the first week is just a story of onshore winds, choppy water, and poor surf quality.
Looking ahead, the only faint glimmer might be on Saturday the 5th of September. The morning shows a 5.9ft WNW swell (510 combined energy) with glassy conditions and a 3 mph breeze. The notes call it "marginal," and the crowds are always a problem here, so it's a bit of a gamble, not a standout. After that, the second week is a washout with small swells, onshore winds, and no real hope of a clean wave.
Honestly, for a sheltered spot like Trestrignel, this is a blank run. With that kind of wind and swell, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Hang in there, forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.

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.
