The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next 16 days around Trez Hir.
Quite honestly, this is a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, quiet spell kicking things off. The first good surf doesn't show up until Wednesday the 19th of August, so there’s a real gap of a few days with nothing to get excited about. The water temps are sitting at 64°, which is basically bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout comes on Thursday the 20th of August. The morning session sees a WNW swell pushing 8ft, with a moderate combined energy (1417), but it’s cross-off wind from the WNW at 16 mph. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it’s a bit junky and bumpy. The wave quality is marginal, and with that size, it’s really only for the experienced crew. That afternoon is similar, with the same 8ft swell but a fresh 19 mph breeze, making it lumpy. It’s a window of opportunity, but not a polished one.
The best bet in the whole forecast, and the one I’d circle, is Friday the 21st of August morning. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, producing a moderate 444 combined energy. The wind is a light offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’s clean and lined up. The wave comment says "expect good surf conditions," and that’s the first time we’ve heard that. It’s a solid intermediate wave, with a bit of push, and the offshore breeze is a major plus. It’s about as good as it gets in this window.
Later in the forecast, around the 28th of August, we see another pulse. The Friday afternoon sees a 6ft swell from the west, with a 7-second period, and a moderate offshore from the NNW. The energy is moderate (278), and the conditions are described as "expect good surf conditions." It’s a bit short-period, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but it’s rideable and clean.
The rest of the week is a mix of tiny, weak swells or strong, messy winds. There’s a brief window on the 31st of August, a Monday, with a clean 7ft WNW swell, but that’s a long way out and the wind is light, so it’s a promising but uncertain look.
Overall, for a break that rarely breaks, this is a classic waiting game. The 21st of August morning is your standout. Go get it.
Rusty.
