Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Imperial Version:

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Trez Hir has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest with you, it’s a bit of a scratchy period ahead, but there are a couple of windows of opportunity if you’re patient.

Looking at the whole picture, the next sixteen days are a real mixed bag with long gaps of small, messy surf. The initial days are pretty much a write-off with weak energy.

We kick off on Saturday the 26th. The morning has a bit of swell coming in at 5ft from the WNW with a short, punchy 7-second period. It’s a bit of a bumpy ride with a cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 242. The afternoon cleans up a notch, with offshore wind and a similar 6ft swell. The period stretches slightly to 8 seconds and the energy jumps to 365, but conditions are still only marginal – it’s not the cleanest.

The real standout of this whole forecast happens on Monday the 27th of July. The afternoon session is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, giving it decent power. The combined energy is a strong 448, and with offshore winds from the NW at 15 mph, the wave faces should be clean and lined up. This is the one to aim for.

After Monday, things drop right off. Tuesday the 28th is small with 3ft waves and glassy conditions in the morning (calm wind), but the energy is weak at 188. It’s surfable, but pretty average. The rest of that week and into the start of August is small and weak, with the combined energy often dropping below 100. There’s a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind, making for choppy, poor conditions.

The next potential highlight is a late one. On Thursday the 6th of August, the afternoon session shows a larger 6ft swell arriving from the W. The period is a short 7 seconds though, and the energy is a strong 347, but it’s labelled as poor surf conditions. This swell might be a bit lumpy and disorganised. It could be more interesting for a kitesurfer than a regular paddle surfer given the strong cross-offshore wind.

Then, after another small run, we see a brief improvement on Friday the 7th of August. The morning shows a 3ft swell with offshore wind, giving clean, surfable but ordinary waves.

Honestly, make the most of Monday the 27th. That’s your best bet for a proper session with some push and clean conditions. The rest is a waiting game.
