Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Trevone Bay over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the pickings are slim for a good chunk of this forecast. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 65°F, but that’s about the only thing that’s easy. For the first ten days, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is all short-period windswell, under 8 seconds, making for a lumpy, choppy mess. You’ll see a bump in energy on the 5th of August, with combined energy hitting 383 (moderate), and waves around 6ft, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore, so it’s not going to be any fun – more of a kite session than a surf.

Things get a little cleaner on the morning of the 15th of August. The wind swings light cross-offshore from the SSE, and the waves are a clean 4ft from the WNW. The combined energy is only 101 (weak), so it’s not powerful, but the conditions are described as "clean". That’s your best bet for a surfable wave, though it’s still very ordinary.

The real stand-out, if you’re an expert and don’t mind a bit of waiting, is the morning of the 19th of August. The swell is a solid 10ft from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 1480 (very strong energy). The wind is light offshore, nearly glassy. The catch? The forecast says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is one for the very experienced crew only, and even then, it’s a promise that’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.

So, to sum up: a long, quiet period of poor surf, then a small, clean window on the 15th, and a potentially massive, dangerous swell on the 19th. That’s the story.

Rusty.
