The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a long, hard look at what Trevone Bay's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. I've got to level with you right from the start—this stretch is looking like a tough one. We've got a whole lot of "poor surf conditions" and "0" ratings staring back at me. There are some moments of potential, but man, you've gotta be patient.
The water temperature is sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than what's normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your tail off while you're waiting for a wave.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't even show up until Tuesday morning, July 28th. The swell is tiny, barely 2ft from the west, and the period is a middling 9 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 65, so don't expect any power. What *is* promising is that the wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. That should keep the surface clean. It's a beginner-level wave, so if you're just looking to get wet and bob around without getting pounded, this is your window. But it's ordinary, at best.
Then we hit a major dry spell. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to the end of the first week of August, it's just a mess of onshore wind and weak, choppy slop. You'll see a bit of a pulse on Sunday, August 2nd with the morning going glassy and 4ft swell from the WSW. The energy is moderate at 254, and that clean, glassy surface is a rare treat. That Sunday morning session is probably the one to aim for during this first week—it's the only time the conditions align for a proper clean look.
After that, it's back to waiting. We get a run of small, clean waves on Monday and Tuesday, August 3rd and 4th, with the wind coming from the SSW, which is cross-off here. The swell is tiny at 3ft and the energy is weak, but at least it's not blown out. It's surfable, but don't expect anything to get your heart racing.
Alright, now for the big one—and I mean *big*. If you've been waiting for a proper groundswell, hold onto your board. Friday, August 7th, a massive pulse rolls in. We're looking at an 12ft WNW swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a monstrous 2433! This is a serious, powerful ocean. The problem is the wind. It's a strong onshore and cross-shore mess, so while there's plenty of water moving, the quality is going to be absolute garbage. It will be choppy, lumpy, and a real battle. This is for experts only, and even then, it's a sketchy prospect. Saturday, August 8th, holds similar energy but the wind stays nasty. The whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
After that massive pulse fades, the last few days of the forecast are just small, onshore slop again.
So, here's the bottom line: This 16-day window is a real test of patience. There are no true standouts here. Your best bet is to pencil in that Sunday morning, August 2nd for clean, glassy conditions on a small but rideable swell. That is the one moment where the stars align for a decent, if not spectacular, session. The rest of it? Keep your board in the car and your eyes on the forecast, because the blank runs are long and the conditions are rarely your friend.
Stay patient,
Rusty

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.
