Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks, Trevone Bay. It’s a bit of a mixed bag ahead, so let’s start with the bigger picture.

The first few days are going to be pretty grim. We’ve got a decent amount of swell pushing in – around 1.7m to 2.1m – but the wind is going to be all over it, mostly cross-onshore and fresh. The wave energy is moderate to strong, with combined energy readings around 518 to 942, but it’s going to be lumpy and chopped up. Don’t get your hopes up for anything clean. The sets are coming in at around 8 to 11 seconds, which is okay, but not great. It’s going to be a battle out there, and probably not much fun unless you’re just keen for a fight.

Come Sunday morning, the 20th, things start to turn. There’s going to be a real drop in the wind, easing right off to almost glassy out of the ENE. The swell drops to around 1.4m, and the energy backs off to about 440. It’s not going to be huge, but it’s the first real window of clean conditions. There’s a touch of glass on the water, so if you can get out early, you might snag a few fun ones.

The next couple of days are pretty small. Monday the 21st has some clean, glassy morning conditions but the swell is down to 0.8m, so it’s a groveller at best. Tuesday the 22nd is similar, maybe a little cleaner with the offshore SE breeze, but it’s still small. The morning is clean, but it’s not really worth paddling out unless you’re desperate.

Now, here’s something that stands out in the long run. On Wednesday the 23rd, we see a nice little pulse fill in with a WNW swell at 1.6m, with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a proper long-period groundswell, and it’s coming in with a clean offshore SE wind. The energy jumps to 874, which is moderate. The only catch is it’s the morning that looks the best, and then it backs off slightly in the afternoon. But if you can get out, this is going to be the pick of the first week. The long period will give it some push, but at a beach break like this, it might be a bit walled. Still, with that offshore wind, it should be clean and lined up.

After that, it’s back to small and messy through the 24th and 25th. We’re talking 0.5m to 0.8m, poor conditions. Not worth the effort.

Then there’s a bit of a gap. From the 26th through the morning of the 27th, it’s almost flat – 0.3m and no energy. You’re better off doing something else.

But hold on. The 27th afternoon starts to show signs of life again with a 1.6m swell, period 12 seconds. It’s still a bit cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect. That’s followed by Monday the 28th, which has the biggest surf of the whole run – 1.8m with a 13-second period. The energy is strong at 1162. But the wind is going to be fresh and cross-onshore out of the north, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. This is one for the experts only, and even then, you’re fighting for it.

Then there’s the real standout in the second week. Tuesday the 29th is looking promising. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore ESE wind, 1.3m, but the afternoon is where it’s at. The wind shifts to a light cross-offshore ENE, and it’s clean with a solid 1.3m at 11 seconds. Not huge, but with that clean face, it could be super fun.

And then Wednesday the 30th. Now this is the one. The morning sees a solid 2.3m of W swell, with a moderate cross-offshore E wind. The energy is strong at 963. It’s a bigger day, and it’s clean. The period is only 10 seconds though, so it’s not got that long-period grunt, but there will be plenty of power. There’s a marginal call on the tide, but if you time it right, this is the standout of the two weeks. It’s a little big for beginners at over 2.5m? No, it’s 2.3m, but still on the edge. You’d want some experience.

Finally, Thursday the 1st of October. The morning looks lovely. A light offshore SSE wind, clean conditions, with a smaller 1.3m WSW swell, period 9 seconds. It’s not the biggest, but it should be clean and fun. A good way to end the run, but not the big finale that the 30th was.

So, overall: the first week is a write-off until the 23rd. The second week has two decent windows on the 29th and the 30th. The 30th looks like the best on offer, with the 23rd as a close second. Remember, the long-range stuff, like the 30th, is promising but less certain. Keep an eye on the forecasts.

Stay salty.
