The Lowdown
Alright, mates. Rusty again. I’ve been through the numbers for this stretch, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it: it’s a dead zone. If you’re hoping for a decent session in the next 16 days, you’re out of luck. There’s nothing worth paddling out for.
The only break we’ve got to talk about is Trevone Bay. The water’s running at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than average for the season, so that’s a small comfort. But that’s where the good news ends.
It all starts on Monday, August 3rd, with a tiny 2ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is glassy and calm. The wave energy is weak (65). It’s surfable, but only just, and it’s as ordinary as it gets. That’s the highlight, and it’s a low bar.
From there, it’s a long, grim march. Tuesday, August 4th, the wind turns onshore and gets messy, with a 4ft cross-shore chop and a short period. The swell tries to build on Wednesday, August 5th, with a 6ft west swell, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making it lumpy and poor. The energy is moderate (383), but the quality is a write-off. Day after day, it’s the same story: small swell, bad wind, or both. There’s a clean window on Monday, August 10th, with a strong offshore breeze, but the swell is barely 2ft – you’d be scratching for anything.
The second week is a total bust. The swell stays small and the wind stays on the nose or cross-shore. By Saturday, August 15th, the swell is 6ft from the west, but it’s a lumpy, cross-onshore mess with a short period (8 seconds). That’s too big for beginners and not clean enough for anyone. The energy is strong (359), but the setup is better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There are no standouts. No hidden gems. The entire 16-day period is a gap of poor conditions. For a spot like Trevone Bay, that’s a hard run, but it’s the reality. Don’t bother. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better window.
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.
Trevone Bay is 4 km (2 miles) from Padstow. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Padstow. Padstow has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
