The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. I've looked over the next sixteen days for Trestrignel and I gotta be straight with ya – it's a tough stretch. The whole period from now through to 10 September is basically one long blank run. There's no surf worth paddling out for. This little beginner-friendly spot is usually fairly consistent and sheltered, but the swell direction never really lines up with its optimum NW window, and the winds are mostly cross or cross-off with moderate to fresh strength. The water temperature is 67°F, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't freeze waiting for something that never comes.
There's one day that comes closest to being rideable – 5 September. Saturday morning shows 6ft swell from W with a period of 11 seconds (groundswell), combined energy of 862 (moderate), and the wind is onshore from N at 3 mph – but it's listed as "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions". Saturday afternoon drops to 6ft with ENE cross-shore wind at 6 mph, energy 682. Still, it's not good enough to call a session. The rest of the days are either tiny, choppy, cross-onshore, or just plain messy. A few days like 28 August afternoon have 7ft but with short period (7s) and strong cross-shore wind – more of a bodyboarder's nightmare than a surfer's dream. The biggest pulse on 10 September brings 8ft from W at 11 seconds, energy 1185 (strong), but it's cross-shore with fresh breeze and lumpy chop – no thanks.
There's no standout session in the window. If you're desperate, maybe the 5 September morning is the least worst, but even then I'd leave the board in the car. The area normally has more going on, but this 16-day run is a real quiet spell. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, save the gas.

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.
