The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Trevone Bay. I’ve looked over the whole 16-day window, and I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s nothing really worth paddling out for. The whole stretch from Monday 27 July right through to Tuesday 11 August is a long, flat, messy run. No good surf options at all.
The water’s sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – about 3° above the norm. That’s nice for a dip, but it won’t help the waves. Trevone Bay is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent when it gets swell, and it likes a WNW direction. But the prevailing winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell heights are tiny – mostly under 3 ft, with periods as short as 4–6 seconds. The combined energy is weak, hardly ever breaking triple digits until the very end, and even then it’s messy.
There’s a brief moment on Tuesday 11 August morning when the wind drops to glassy – calm, clean – and you get a 3 ft swell from the west, but the period is just 6 seconds and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s the only half-decent moment, and it’s not enough to get excited about. For the rest, it’s choppy, lumpy, or just flat. The swell that does show up on 7–9 August gets bigger – up to 7 ft on Saturday 8 August – but the wind is cross-onshore and strong, making it a mess. That size is also too big for beginners, and the period is short, so it’s not well-shaped.
Bottom line: if you’re itching for a surf, you’re better off waiting for a change in the forecast. This area tends to have blank runs like this, but it never stays poor for long – forecasts can flip. For now, there’s nothing to recommend. Keep your eyes on the charts.
Rusty out.

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.
