Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Trevone Bay has got cooking for us. I’ll be straight with you – it’s been a tough stretch for the surf, and the next ten days are looking pretty grim. The wind and swell just aren’t lining up, and most of the time it’s either blown out or too messy to get excited about.

The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing your butt off while you’re staring at the chop.

We start off on Thursday, 3rd September, with a sloppy, poor surf conditions… period. The wind is howling from the WSW at 15-19 mph, cross-shore, making a mess of the 5 ft swell. The combined energy is weak (287), so don’t bother. Friday and Saturday are similar – a bit of height but onshore and choppy, with the energy picking up to moderate (707) on Friday, but it’s all cross-onshore junk. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday the 6th gets a bit of a reprieve – the wind swings offshore from the SE, but the swell has dropped to knee-high (2 ft-2 ft) with weak energy (85). The conditions are clean, but you’d be lucky to get a ride. The following week, from Monday the 7th through to Monday the 14th, is a write-off. There’s a big pulse of swell on Monday morning with 8 ft groundswell (period 13 seconds) and strong energy (1796), but the wind is howling onshore from the NW at 19 mph. That’s a recipe for a washing machine. Too big for beginners and not clean enough for anyone else. The rest of those days are just a repeat of the same story – wind, chop, and marginal conditions.

Now, the standout. If you can wait, Tuesday the 15th of September is the only real window we’ve got. The morning is looking glassy – ENE wind at just 3 mph, clean as a whistle. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds and moderate energy (285). It’s not a monster, but it’s the cleanest conditions we’ve seen in the whole forecast. For a beginner or someone wanting a cruisey session, that’s your best bet. It’s fairly consistent here, so you’ll get enough waves. Crowds are possible though, so don’t expect solitude.

Wednesday the 16th is also glassy in the morning, but the swell has dropped to 3 ft, so it’s a bit weaker. Still, it’s a decent backup if you missed Tuesday.

After that, it’s back to poor surf with strong winds through the 17th and 18th. So, to sum it up: the first 12 days are a bust, but that Tuesday morning, 15th September, is the one to circle. It’s not world-class, but it’s the best we’ve got.

Rusty.
