The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for our local stretch. Straight up, I've got to be honest with you: it’s looking pretty grim. The models are showing a long, stubborn run of poor conditions right through the entire 16-day window. There’s no standout session to get excited about, and honestly, not a single day is looking like it’s worth paddling out. The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only upside.
For the rest of July and right through the first day of August, it's a relentless pattern of onshore and cross-onshore winds. The swell is small and weak, mostly coming out of the north with short, choppy periods around 5 to 6 seconds. The energy is almost non-existent for the first week, with combined swell energy values barely cracking triple digits, and most readings sitting in the weak range (27 to 138). The winds are moderate to fresh, constantly wrecking what little bump there is.
We do see a bit of a spike in size around the 27th and 28th of July, with swell pushing up to 7 ft from the WNW. The energy jumps noticeably to a moderate to strong 514, but don’t let that fool you. It’s coming in with onshore winds and the wave comment is still "poor surf conditions." The period creeps up to 8 seconds, which is a tiny improvement, but that onshore wind will make a mess of it. For beginners, that 7 ft is definitely too big, and with the wind, it's expert territory at best, and even then, it won’t be pretty. With the wind and the beach break setup, honestly, this looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
After that pulse, it fades quickly, dropping back to tiny, weak, and choppy conditions for the end of the month. The 1st of August offers a slight bump back to 5 ft from the WNW with moderate energy (170), but again, it’s cross-on or onshore wind. There is nothing here to recommend. This is a classic blank run for the area, and it’s a tough one to swallow. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board in the car.

Information about the Trevone Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trevone Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trevone Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trevone Bay surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Trevone Bay) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Trevone Bay may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Trevone Bay is 4 km (2 miles) from Padstow. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Padstow. Padstow has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
