Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off for decent surf. There are no real standout sessions, and most days we’re looking at small, weak, or messy waves. The first real action doesn’t even show up until the 26th of July, and even then, conditions are poor. The biggest issue is the wind – it’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is just not cooperating.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

For the first week, it’s a lot of looking at the ocean doing nothing. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are non-starters with tiny 2ft to 3ft swell and short periods, all blown out by moderate to fresh winds. The combined energy is weak, reading between 22 and 51 (weak energy). Forget it.

Sunday the 26th sees a jump in size to 6ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 293 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is onshore and fresh, so it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 27th has a bit of a drop, back to 3ft, but the wind is light cross-onshore in the morning. The period is 7 seconds and the combined energy is 140 (moderate). The surface might be clean-ish, but there’s no power.

Tuesday the 28th through to Thursday the 31st of July is more of the same: tiny 2ft swell, short periods, and light winds that are either cross or cross-on. The combined energy sits between 48 and 73 (all weak). It’s just not happening.

One interesting moment pops up on the afternoon of Friday the 31st of July. A 6ft swell from the west with an 11-second period shows up, giving a combined energy of 658 (strong wave energy). That’s a proper groundswell period. But the wind is a gentle cross-onshore, keeping it from being clean. It’s still rated as poor surf conditions. You might find a few, but it’s not the best.

The first of August brings a 4ft to 4ft WSW swell with a 9 to 10-second period and combined energy of 416 to 419 (moderate). The wind is moderate cross-onshore, so it’s choppy. Still a miss.

Then on the 2nd of August, we get a big 10ft swell from the west with an 11-second period. The combined energy is massive – 1736 in the morning, 2126 in the afternoon (very strong wave energy). This is too big. The file says it’s too big for Trevone Bay, and I agree. That’s expert-only territory, and with moderate cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be a washing machine. Not for the average surfer.

The second week, from the 3rd of August onward, is a slow fade. Monday the 3rd has 7ft swell but it’s onshore and messy. Tuesday the 4th drops to 3ft. Wednesday the 5th is 3ft with cross-shore wind. The 6th of August sees a 6ft west swell, but it’s choppy and the period is short at 8 seconds. By the 7th and 8th, we’re back to tiny 2ft to 3ft dribble.

So, the honest truth? There’s no standout session here. The best you can hope for is a peek at the afternoon of the 31st of July if you’re desperate, but don’t expect much. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can change, but right now, it looks like a pretty blank run.

Stay patient.

Rusty.
