The Lowdown
Right, let’s be honest with you. It’s a bit of a flat spell on the horizon for the next couple of weeks. The swell window looks pretty shut, and we’re going to be scratching around for anything rideable. Don’t get your hopes up for any hero waves, but let’s break down what’s actually on the table.
We start off with the best of a pretty ordinary bunch on Monday the 3rd at Trevone Bay. It’s small, ankle to knee-high at 3ft, but the wind is light and the conditions are clean. The water’s sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the paddle out isn't too bad even if the ride is short. The swell energy is weak, only 99, and it’s pretty gutless. It’s a surfable wave, but you’d be lying if you said it was exciting. The swell is from the WSW, which is close to the optimum for this spot, but it’s just not got any punch.
Tuesday the 4th is a write-off. The wind swings onshore and kicks up a cross-chop, making the 3ft of junky swell completely unrideable. Forget it. Wednesday the 5th sees a bump in size, with 7ft on the cards, but it’s coming with 30 km/h cross-onshore winds. It’s lumpy, messy, and not worth the paddle out. The energy is moderate at 453, but it’s all over the place. This isn't a surf day; it’s a day to watch the ocean from the cliffs. Given the strong wind and the beach setup, this might look more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.
From Thursday the 6th right through to the end of the window, it just fades away. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly messy waves. There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 9th morning with 2ft and glassy conditions, but it’s too small to get excited about. The energy is minimal, and the period is short, so there’s no real push to them.
Honestly, there’s nothing here that qualifies as a standout. The only highlight is that Monday morning surf, and that’s a low bar. The rest of the ten days after that looks like a proper flat spell. It’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area.
Keep the board in the car, but maybe keep the wax in the cupboard. Forecasts can change, but this one looks pretty locked in for a while.

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.
Trevone Bay is 4 km (2 miles) from Padstow. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Padstow. Padstow has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
