Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Trevone Bay.

Honestly folks, we are lookin’ at a bleak stretch here. This is one of those periods where you might be better off polishin’ the board and waitin’ for a change. The forecast is basically a long, drawn-out run of poor surf conditions, with only a couple of fleeting moments that are barely “surfable.” For the next week and a half, you’ll be starin’ at choppy, wind-battered waves, if any at all. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first potential window that even registers is Thursday morning, the 23rd of July. We’ve got a tiny 3 ft swell from the NNW, with a short period of 6 seconds, and combined energy is weak at just 65. The wind is light from the NNE, almost glassy. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a 1 out of 10, so while you could get wet, it’s not gonna be memorable. A go-out for the hardcore only. After that, it’s right back into the gutter with cross-onshore winds and tiny, choppy waves for days.

There’s a notable pulse of swell that arrives on Sunday the 26th of July. Swell hits 7 ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps into the moderate range at 438. But here’s the kicker: the wind is howlin’ onshore from the NW at 19 mph, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions.” That’s a powerful reminder that big swell with bad wind is just a washing machine. For beginners, 7 ft is already too big, and with that wind, this one’s for experts only, if anyone’s crazy enough.

The run continues poor right through the end of July and into August. We finally see a slight break on the 31st of July, Friday morning. A tiny 2 ft swell from the west, but the wind finally goes cross-off from the SSW. It’s clean. Still just a 1 out of 10, but if you are desperate for a clean, small wave, this is the pick of a very bad bunch.

That’s about it. On the 3rd of August, Monday morning, we get another “surfable” moment with a 2 ft wave and clean conditions from a cross-off wind, but again, tiny. After that, the long-range stuff on the 6th of August looks clean but small and weak.

So, the bottom line: Trevone Bay is in a proper slump. There is no standout day here. If you have to paddle out, aim for the clean, tiny windows on Friday the 31st of July morning or Monday the 3rd of August morning. Otherwise, give it a miss. The setup is so poor, that with the strong cross-onshores and lumpy conditions on some of the bigger days, it’s lookin’ more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys.
