Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Trez Hir has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a lot of flat days to sit through before things get interesting.

Right now, and for most of this week, it's pretty quiet. We've got tiny waves around 0.7 ft from the west and northwest with weak energy (8-14), and while the wind is clean or offshore at times, there's just not enough swell to get excited about. This stretch of poor conditions looks set to hang around for a good few days.

Things start to change a little on Sunday, July 26th. The swell bumps up to 5 ft from the west-northwest, and the energy builds to a moderate 215-271. By Sunday afternoon, with a clean 15 mph offshore wind, it starts looking more promising. The period is a short 7-8 seconds, so it'll be a bit crumbly, but it's a start.

Monday, July 27th is one of the standout days in the near-term. Morning sees that 5 ft WNW swell with a slightly better 9-second period and a combined energy of 404, which is a solid, moderate level. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-off, keeping things clean. This is the best bet for a surf in the first week.

After that, the swell dips again through Tuesday and Wednesday with poor conditions returning. There's a bit of a pulse on Thursday, July 31st with a 4 ft SW and a tiny 4-second period—too weak and messy—and an afternoon jump to 6 ft from the WSW (energy 389), but the quality is described as marginal. Not the best.

Now, for the long-range stuff. It gets proper interesting for the first weekend of August. On Saturday, August 1st, the swell jumps to 5–6 ft from the WNW, with a very long 11-second period and strong energy readings of 1084-1187. However, the wind is messy—cross-shore and cross-onshore—so it's going to be choppy.

The true highlight of the whole outlook is Sunday, August 2nd, afternoon. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the WNW with that same long 11-second period and a very strong 1022 combined energy. Best of all, the wind switches to a clean 9 mph cross-off. This is the window to circle. Trez Hir is rarely breaking and is exposed to the west, so this big, long-period groundswell from the west-northwest is well-aligned (optimum SSW). It's a classic setup for this break. That 7 ft is pushing toward expert territory, so it'll be one for the experienced crew. Keep in mind the crowds can show up here sometimes. Promising, but we're over a week out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.

After that peak, the surf fades fast into the following week with more small, poor conditions from August 3rd onwards.

So, for the best waves, aim for Monday morning, July 27th for a cleaner, more manageable session, and keep Sunday afternoon, August 2nd marked for the real power and quality if you've got the skill.

Rusty.
