The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s check what Trevone Bay’s got on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s looking pretty dead for most of the first week and a half. There’s a big stretch of poor surf conditions from now right through the end of August and into early September. The only flicker of life is on the afternoon of Tuesday the 25th, with some small 2ft swell from the W and offshore wind, but the waves are just ordinary. The combined energy is weak (92), so it’s not worth getting wet for. That’s about it until things shift.
The one real standout—and honestly the only one—comes on Wednesday, the 2nd of September. Wednesday morning has clean 4ft swell from the W with light cross-offshore wind. But Wednesday afternoon is the big one. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the WSW, with an 8-second period. The combined wave energy is strong at 952, so there’s serious power. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore breeze, keeping the waves clean. But at 10ft, this is expert-only territory—way too big for beginners. The guidance says at that size, the swell is predicted to be too big for this break, so the quality might suffer, but for the brave and skilled, it’s the best wave of the outlook.
After that, it gets rough. Thursday the 3rd is blown out by strong onshore wind, and Friday the 4th stays messy. By Sunday the 6th, we get a long-period groundswell from the W with a 19-second period and moderate energy (1895), but the forecast is marginal and the wind is onshore. That long period will make it tough at a beach break like Trevone Bay—the waves will be clean but straight and hard to ride.
Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Trevone Bay, so on the rare good day, you won’t be totally alone.
Bottom line: if you’re an expert and you’ve got patience, aim for Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon. Everything else in this 16-day window is a write-off for a decent surf.

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