Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s have a look at Trevone Bay for the next couple of weeks. Truth be told, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for the most part. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus when you’re sitting out there.

Tuesday morning kicks things off with a small, clean 2 ft wave from the west, period around 10 seconds, and a gentle east breeze. Combined energy is weak (71). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. Tuesday afternoon sees a touch more size at 2 ft, and the wind swings southeast, going offshore, keeping it tidy. Still, it’s very ordinary.

Wednesday morning, the swell drops to 2 ft, but the period shortens to 8 seconds and the wind goes cross-off from the south. The energy is weak (60). It’s clean but poor. Wednesday afternoon is similar, with smaller 2 ft waves and even less energy (37). The wind goes offshore from the SSE, so it’s clean, but the surf is just not happening.

Thursday through to the end of the month is a write-off. The wind gets messy, the swell is either tiny or onshore, and the quality is poor. Thursday morning has a cross-shore 19 mph wind from the SW, lumping up a 1 ft wave. Thursday afternoon sees a jump to 4 ft and moderate energy (144), but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is cross-shore at 16 mph. Poor.

Friday morning, the swell is 3 ft, cross-off wind from SSE, clean, but still poor conditions. Friday afternoon goes onshore from the WNW at 12 mph, with 3 ft and weak energy (84). Not good.

Saturday the 29th sees a pulse of swell: 6 ft on Saturday morning, 7 ft on Saturday afternoon, from the W and WSW. But the wind is a fresh cross-on at 19 to 22 mph, making it lumpy and messy. Combined energy climbs to 387 and 469, but the quality is poor. This is getting more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Sunday the 30th morning shows 6 ft and a cross-off from the SSW, clean, with moderate energy (459). It’s marginal, but the cleanest option in a while. Sunday afternoon goes south again with a fresh cross-shore from the WSW and a risk of thunderstorms.

Monday the 31st is a write-off: strong cross-on winds, messy 7 ft and 6 ft waves.
Tuesday the 1st of September brings a massive 10 ft swell from the west, but with a strong cross-shore wind at 25 mph and very strong energy (1814). That’s experts only, and even then, the wind is wrecking it.

Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is the best we’ve seen in a while: 6 ft from the west, period 10 seconds, cross-off wind from the SW at 12 mph, clean. Combined energy is 692, moderate. It’s still marginal, but the cleanest and most promising morning in the whole outlook. The afternoon goes cross-shore and lumpy again.

Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are all onshore, lumpy, and poor. Friday brings small dribbly 2 ft waves.

Saturday the 5th of September sees another big pulse: 8 ft to 10 ft from the west, but fresh cross-on winds at 19 mph, making it lumpy and high energy (1121-1316). Only for experts, and messy.

Sunday the 6th morning is cross-on at 6 ft, moderate. Sunday afternoon shows 7 ft, cross-off from the SSW, clean, but marginal.

Monday the 7th is a mess: strong cross-shore winds, 8 ft to 8 ft, poor.

Then, finally, Tuesday the 8th of September morning shows some light at the end of the tunnel: 5 ft from the west, period 9 seconds, a light cross-off from the south at 6 mph, clean. Combined energy is 326, moderate. It even says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the standout of the whole forecast. Tuesday afternoon drops a bit to 6 ft but with a short 7 second period and a moderate cross-off, still clean.

Wednesday the 9th goes back to onshore and lumpy with an 8 ft swell from the west, period 11 seconds, but a fresh cross-on wind.

So, honestly, the best on offer is that Tuesday the 8th of September morning window at Trevone Bay. It’s the only time the conditions line up well. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a battle with the wind, with a few big swells that are too blown out for good surfing. It’s a tough run, but that one morning looks worth waiting for.
