The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s see what we’ve got. It’s looking a bit of a slow start for us, with a real blank patch in the middle there. But hold on, we’ve got a couple of days that are going to make it all worth it.
The action kicks off Wednesday the 5th of August. Trez Hir is the only game in town, but it’s a decent one. The morning is looking clean with a solid 6ft of west swell and a moderate offshore breeze. Energy is moderate (286). The wave period is short at 7 seconds, so it might be a bit crumbly, but it’s surfable and the clean conditions are a big plus. This spot is rarely breaking, so when it’s on, you gotta take notice. The afternoon stays similar in size but the wind swings a little, making it less ideal. This is the spot to be for the opening salvo.
Then we hit a flat spell. Thursday the 6th through to the 13th of August is a write-off at Trez Hir. We’re looking at small, weak pulses of energy, mostly under 3ft, and honestly, it’s just not worth the paddle out. A few days have light winds and some clean looks, but the swell is just too tiny. It’s a long five or six days of staring at a flat ocean. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.
The surf starts to stir again around the 14th of August, with a modest pulse of 4ft but it’s messy. But then, the magic happens on Saturday the 15th of August. The morning is the standout. We’ve got a clean 6ft of west-northwest swell rolling in, with a period jumping to 10 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and it’s got some push. The wind is a light offshore, so it should be glassy and clean. The combined energy is strong (578). This is the one you’ve been waiting for. The afternoon stays similar size, but the wind picks up and it gets a bit trickier. This is your best bet for the foreseeable future.
After that, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday the 16th sees the swell drop back to a comfy 3ft with clean conditions. Then, get this, a big swell is brewing. The 17th of August is looking very promising with 7-8ft of west swell. That’s proper size, with clean conditions on offer. Over 5ft, so it’s not for the beginners, but for the rest of you, it’s game on.
The 18th of August looks like it’s going to be the biggest day of the entire run, with a massive 10ft of west-northwest swell. The energy readings are through the roof (3263!). The wind is strong, but it’s offshore in the afternoon, so it could be an epic, heavy session for experts only. That’s over 8ft, so it’s strictly for the experienced crew. It’s a long way out, so I wouldn’t bank on it just yet, but it’s a tantalizing prospect. After that, it fades out again, with a return to smaller, less appealing surf.
So, to sum it up: this window is bookended by some fun time. Your best, most reliable bet is Saturday the 15th. The 17th and 18th could be bigger and heavier, but they are more of a promise than a guarantee right now. The entire middle stretch is going to be flat, so get your jobs done then.

Information about the Trez Hir Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trez Hir provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trez Hir can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trez Hir 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.

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 Trez Hir 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.
