Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up.

To be straight with you, this is a grim stretch for Trez Hir. We’re looking at a long, flat run with barely a wave worth paddling for. From now through to the 7th of August, it’s pretty much all tiny, weak slop – most days showing nothing but poor surf conditions. The swell heights are hovering around 0.7ft to 3ft, with combined wave energy barely nudging into double digits most of the time, like 9 (Friday morning) or 40 (Saturday afternoon). The winds are mostly cross-off or cross-shore, which keeps things clean, but there’s simply no power behind it. This spot rarely breaks as it is, and right now it’s just not doing anything.

Then, out of nowhere, we get a pulse on Saturday the 8th of August. That morning shows promise with a 6ft swell from the SW, a period of 8 seconds, and a light WNW breeze making for clean conditions. Combined energy jumps right up to 571 – that’s proper moderate wave energy for a break that’s fairly exposed to the swell. That morning window is the standout of the whole outlook. The swell direction is SSW, which is pretty much bang on what this place likes. It’s not huge – still manageable for intermediates – but it’s the only real chance in the whole 16 days to get something decent. After that morning, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops off quick.

After that Saturday, it’s back to small, weak, and mostly forgettable. Sunday the 9th has a bump in swell but it’s getting hammered by strong south winds, making it lumpy and ugly. By the time we hit the second week, the surf fades into nothing again – tiny 0.3ft to 2ft junk with no energy. There’s a brief appearance of a 12-second period on the 12th of August, but with only 0.7ft of swell, it just means long waits between barely-there waves.

Water temp’s about average for this time of year – nothing wild to note.

So, bottom line: Saturday the 8th of August morning is your one ticket to ride. Get on it early, because after that, we’re back to staring at flat water for another week.
