Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s be straight with each other. I’ve had a good look at what’s coming down the line for Trevone Bay, and honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks. There are some small windows where it might look okay on paper, but the wind and conditions just don’t want to line up.

We’ve got a real rough patch straight away. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are no good – it’s blown out with cross-shore winds and lumpy, messy surf. The swell is there but it’s short-period windswell, and the quality is just poor. Friday the 4th actually has some size with a 7ft swell from the west showing up in the morning, but it’s onshore wind again, and the wave state is unknown – not worth getting excited about.

Now, Saturday the 5th is our one little glimmer. That morning you’ve got a 4ft west swell wrapping in with a period of 11 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. And the wind? Glassy. Dead calm. That’s a rare thing. The combined energy is moderate at 388, and if you get in early, the water temperature is 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s actually quite pleasant. This is the only time in the whole outlook where the conditions are described as 'good surf conditions'. It’s a short window though – by the afternoon, the wind goes onshore again and the surf drops off.

After that, things go very quiet and stay messy. Sunday the 6th is tiny, with just 2ft and a stiff offshore breeze – clean but no power. From Monday the 7th through the middle of the week, we get another pulse of bigger swell – 7ft to 8ft – but it’s all cross-onshore with strong winds and lumpy, messy waves. That kind of size with that wind is more for the kite crew than anyone on a paddleboard. The combined energy hits 1423 on Monday afternoon – strong – but it’s wasted.

From the 10th of September right through to the 17th, we’re looking at a real flat spell. Swell drops under 3ft for most of that time, and what little bump there is gets chopped up by onshore or cross-shore winds. There’s a tiny lift on the 13th and 14th with a 4ft west swell that has some period, but the wind is never right. It’s just a waiting game.

Honestly, if you’re dead set on a surf, set your alarm for the morning of Saturday the 5th of September. That’s your one chance for a clean, fun wave at Trevone Bay. The rest of the 16-day window is either blown out, flat, or both. Forecasts can change, but right now, this stretch looks like a solid bust.
