The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and look at what’s on the table for Trestrignel over the next couple of weeks. I’ll level with you straight up – this is a grim outlook. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for paddle surfing. There’s no standout session, no day to circle on the calendar. The water is sitting at 66°F and is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s slightly out of the ordinary, and it doesn’t help the waves one bit.
The problem is clear from the start. From Friday 31 July right through to Saturday 15 August, every single forecast entry is marked as “poor surf conditions.” The swell energy is weak, never cracking triple digits until Friday 7 August afternoon when it hits 105 (moderate energy), but that’s paired with a messy 6-second period and cross-onshore winds. It’s a no-go. The swell barely gets above 4 ft at any point, and when it does, the wind is all over the shop. Most days the combined energy is in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s – all weak (two-digit values). Even the rare 118 on Monday 10 August morning is still only moderate energy, and it’s a short-period 6-second swell from the NE, with a cross-shore breeze. Not worth the paddle.
For a beginner-friendly, sheltered spot like Trestrignel, this is a real bummer. The consistent “cross-on” or “cross” wind state on most days means the surface is chopped or lumpy. There’s a brief moment on Sunday 9 August morning with a clean wind description and a cross-offshore breeze from the east, but the swell is only 3 ft from the WSW with an 8-second period – it’s just too weak to get excited about. The rest of the time, it’s light breezes or moderate winds, and the waves are tiny, below 2 ft for many days.
Look, this is a long, dry run. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is an unusual blank stretch, but sometimes the ocean just shuts down. Keep your waxed and your eyes on the forecast – it won’t stay this quiet forever. Right now, there’s nothing here for a surfer. If you’re desperate for a water fix, the persistent onshore and cross-onshore winds with that weak, choppy swell might make for a better kite session than a surf session, but that’s about it.
Rusty.

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.
