The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a long look at the charts for our stretch of coast, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s looking grim. There’s not a single window in the next 16 days where the conditions line up to give us a decent wave. The surf forecast is a flat, dusty zero across the board, so we’re in for a long stretch of small, wind-affected dribble.
The only spot on the radar is Trevone Bay, a fairly exposed, beginner-friendly beach break. It’s about as consistent as a spot can be around here, but even that won’t save us. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it because you won’t be paddling out.
The first week is a write-off. We start Wednesday the 5th with a weak, short-period Westerly swell of 6ft, but a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph has it chopped up and lumpy. The combined swell energy is a moderate 388, but it’s all for nothing. That trend continues through Thursday and Friday, with the swell dropping to nothing. We get a tiny pulse of 1ft on Friday the 7th with a 9-second period, and the wind goes glassy, but it’s just too small to bother with. Saturday the 8th offers a clean, offshore wind window in the morning, but again, the swell is a pathetic 1ft.
The pattern of small, wind-battered waves carries on through the entire first week and into the second. There’s a slight uptick mid-week, around Wednesday the 13th, with a 5ft to 6ft Westerly swell showing moderate energy (351-430), but the wind is onshore and choppy, so it’s a mess. By the weekend of the 16th, a raw 7ft Westerly swell rolls in with 416-516 energy, but it’s a short period (7-8 seconds), onshore wind and over 8ft, making it expert-only territory, and the conditions are still poor. The final week from the 18th onwards is dominated by strong winds and even smaller surf.
Look, it’s a blank run, and that’s not unusual for this area when the patterns lock in like this. The setup is so consistently poor that if you’re desperate for a session on the water, this stretch is honestly more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. Just park the boards for a bit, forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.
Rusty.

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.
