Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break this down in feet and Fahrenheit.

The water is sitting at about 63°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

The surfable action starts this Saturday morning, July 25th, but it’s a flat start. We’re looking at a tiny 0.6ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the wind is offshore from the NW. The combined wave energy is a lifeless 16 – nothing to get excited about. Saturday stays poor and small.

The first real pulse hits Sunday afternoon, July 26th. Swell jumps to 6ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore. The energy is 365, which is a solid moderate push, but it’s flagged as marginal. It’s not a total washout, but it’s not the standout.

Monday morning, July 27th, is completely flat. Monday afternoon, though, gets interesting. Swell builds to 5ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the wind is clean offshore from the NW. The combined energy hits 448, a good moderate level. The forecast calls it "expect good surf conditions." For a spot that “rarely breaks,” this is the best early window. It’s not a big day, but it’s the cleanest we’ve got.

After that, the week goes flat and ordinary. Tuesday, July 28th, has a glassy morning with 3ft, but it’s nothing special. Wednesday and Thursday drop off into the doldrums, with energy in the double digits. Friday, July 31st, has a glassy morning, but the swell is only 2ft. Friday afternoon brings a confusing 3ft from the WSW with an 11-second period, but the wind is cross-on and choppy.

The first weekend of August is a write-off. Saturday, August 1st, is messy and weak.

The next real pulse shows up on Wednesday, August 5th. Swell jumps to 6ft from the W with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 602. But the wind is a cross-shore mess from the SW, creating chop. The forecast calls it "poor surf conditions." For a beach break, that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

The big one to watch is Sunday, August 9th. We’re looking at 7ft to 8ft from the SW and WSW, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is a powerful 592 to 683. That’s strong to very strong wave energy. The wind is cross-off, which is clean enough. This is a long way out, so it’s promising but not locked in. At over 7ft, this is strictly for experts. The swell direction is SW, which is spot on for Trez Hir’s optimum, so it should line up well if it holds.

Saturday, August 8th, also has a late afternoon pulse of 5ft from the WSW with 332 energy, which is a decent warm-up.

Bottom line: the first week is mostly flat and ordinary. Monday afternoon, July 27th, is your best early bet for a clean wave. The real action is looking at Sunday, August 9th, for a proper big swell, but it’s a long way off and the wind could still mess it up. For a spot that rarely breaks, these are the windows.

Rusty.
