Trevone Bay Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are gonna test your patience if you’re chasing waves at Trevone Bay. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, messy, and wind-blown conditions, with only a couple of brief windows where it cleans up enough to be worth a paddle.

Right off the bat, for the 9th and 10th, there’s just nothing doing. We’re talking ankle-biters under 1ft with onshore junk. The energy is weak, with combined energy readings in the teens and twenties. You’d be better off finding a rock pool.

Things pick up a touch on the morning of Monday the 11th. There’s still not much size, around 1ft, but a light offshore breeze from the SE cleans things up. The combined energy is still weak at 29, so it’s a longboard-only kind of morning. The afternoon drops even further, so don’t plan your day around it.

Now, here’s the one real highlight in this whole stretch: Wednesday the 12th. The morning is nothing special, but the afternoon is where it’s at. We get a glassy, clean 3ft of west swell with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 139, which is at least in the moderate range. It’s not big, but it’s clean, and that’s gold. This is the best call for a beginner looking for some gentle, pushy waves without any hassle. The swell direction is from the west, right in the pocket for Trevone Bay’s WNW exposure.

But it’s a short-lived window. From Thursday the 13th through the weekend, the wind swings onshore and chops everything up. The swell gets a little push, with some 4ft readings, but the wind state is consistently poor. The energy gets up to 274 on Thursday morning, but it’s all for nothing with that bump on it. Not worth a look.

The following week is a grind. There are a few days with some energy—like the 19th and 20th with 3-4ft swells and periods up to 10 seconds—but the wind is either cross-shore or cross-onshore, keeping it lumpy and messy. The 21st has a clean reading but the wind is a strong cross-off at 19 mph, which is going to be a battle just to get out.

The only other moment of promise is on the morning of Saturday the 23rd. We get another glassy window, with a clean 3ft of WNW swell. The energy is a moderate 140. It’s similar to the 12th, but slightly less clean with a bit more size. It’s a decent call, but it comes after a long run of nothing, so keep your expectations in check.

To be honest, Trevone Bay is a pretty consistent break, but this forecast is a real dud. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The main thing is to be patient and wait for those two windows of light, offshore wind. If you’re set on surfing, the 12th of August is the standout, with the 23rd as a backup. Everything else is a write-off.
