Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Trevone Bay.

Overall, it's a pretty grim stretch for the next two weeks. The pattern is a long run of poor conditions, with very few windows that are even worth paddling out for. We're looking at a lot of cross-onshore winds, lumpy and choppy seas, and a general lack of quality. There's a gap of about four days of truly poor surf before we see anything that's just "surfable."

Let's start with Thursday the 20th of August. There's a pulse of swell coming in, with waves around 8 ft from the WNW, and combined wave energy hitting 799 (moderate to strong). The problem is it's raining and the wind is a fresh onshore breeze, so it's going to be a messy, blown-out mess. Not one for the log.

Friday the 21st of August is the first real glimmer of hope. The morning is looking like the only decent option in the first week. We've got a light breeze from the ENE, which is cross-offshore, and the surf is a clean 3 ft from the W. The swell period is a short 8 seconds, so it'll be a bit weak, but it’s the cleanest it will be. Expect crowds at this spot, especially when it's the only clean wave in town.

The next real chance comes on Tuesday the 25th of August. The morning is clean again with a light S cross-offshore wind and 3 ft from the WNW (period 10s). The afternoon picks up a little, with 4 ft from the W and a light S breeze still holding it clean. The combined energy is moderate (144 and 233). This is probably the best-looking combo of the whole window: clean, light winds, and a little more period.

After that, it's back to a mess of onshore winds and poor conditions through the end of August and into September. There's a bit of a swell pulse on the 29th of August with 6 ft waves and strong energy (550), but it's blown out by fresh onshore winds. The water temp is about 66°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it won't be cold while you're getting blown off your board.

Looking into the second week, the 1st of September brings a 6 ft swell from the W with a clean cross-offshore breeze in the morning. The combined energy is 449. It's a promising shape but it's a long-range call, so don't hold your breath. The 2nd of September is similar, with a clean 5 ft option in the morning.

Honestly, if you're a kiter, the strong onshore days like the 20th and 29th of August might be more interesting than a paddle. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game.
