Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, it’s Trez Hir. This spot is a bit of a wildcard – it’s an exposed break that gets a mix of swell, but it *rarely breaks* so when it does, you have to pay attention. The water is sitting at 63°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no need to worry about any weird temperature shifts.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start. Tuesday afternoon throws up a solid 8ft swell from the WNW, but it’s packing a short 9-second period and the wind is howling offshore at 19 mph. The energy is there (1000), but it’s just too messy and the conditions are marginal. Not worth the paddle.

Wednesday cleans up a little. The morning brings a 3ft WSW swell with a gentle offshore breeze, but it’s really ordinary. The afternoon drops to 3ft and it’s still just average. Thursday is a write-off with onshore and cross-shore winds, barely any swell.

Friday morning is where things start to look up. We get a 5ft swell from the west, 10-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore. The energy is moderate (453) and the conditions are clean. This is a solid session if you can get out. The afternoon holds at 4ft with offshore winds, still surfable.

Saturday afternoon is the real standout for the first week. A 5ft WNW groundswell with a 13-second period is rolling in, crossed with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy jumps to 1019, and the conditions are *very* good. This is a proper wave – long period, clean, and the point should be running nicely. This is the best on offer for the first week.

Sunday morning maintains the quality with a 6ft WNW swell and a 12-second period. Clean again. The afternoon drops a bit, but it’s still good.

Monday is glassy but small (3ft), and Tuesday and Wednesday are mixed with increasing winds. The second half of the week gets blown out by strong northerlies, and the swell fades into small, poor stuff until the 22nd.

Now, look ahead to Wednesday the 23rd. This is a long-range look, so keep the salt in your eyes, but it’s promising. A 6ft WNW groundswell with a 17-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell – and the energy is massive (2041). The wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit textured, but that kind of period at Trez Hir, which is a reef, should produce some serious, lined-up waves. The afternoon bumps up to 7ft with a 16-second period and even more energy (2236). This is the one to circle. It’s only for experienced surfers though – over 8ft at a reef with that much power is not for the faint-hearted.

This is your heads-up: the first week has a couple of good windows, but the real quality is that groundswell on the 23rd. Keep an eye on the wind, but it’s the standout.
