Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. There’s a pulse of solid energy, but it’s not all going to be clean, so we gotta pick our moments.

The run starts on Monday, 27 July, with a good pulse of swell. Trez Hir is the only game in town, and it’s a bit of a rare bird - this spot doesn’t break often, so when it does, you pay attention. Monday morning we’re looking at a 6ft swell from the WNW, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (565), and with a solid offshore wind from the NW, it’s going to be clean. The water temperature is 65°, which is about average for this time of year. This is the standout – it’s solid, head-high plus, and clean. By Monday afternoon, the swell drops a touch to 5ft, but still offshore, still good.

Tuesday morning, 28 July, the swell eases to 4ft, but the wind goes glassy. It’s smaller, but you’ll get some fun, clean lines. The energy drops to 227 (moderate). Tuesday afternoon drops to 3ft, still clean. From Wednesday, 29 July, things get smaller and weaker – swell drops to 3ft with short 8-9 second periods, and the energy is weak (104 or less). It’s surfable, but ordinary. By Thursday, 30 July, it’s still small, but Thursday afternoon picks up a touch of energy (176) with a 3ft WNW swell and offshore wind, so there’s a slight glimmer.

Then there’s a dry spell. From Friday, 31 July morning (3ft, 7-second junk) the quality tanks. Friday afternoon the swell collapses to 0.3ft, and it stays flat or near-flat through the first week of August. Saturday and Sunday, 1-2 August, are tiny, and the wind is messy. The whole of the next week, from 3 August to 7 August, is a write-off – tiny waves, poor wind, very low energy. There’s a gap of about 7 days with no real surf on offer.

But hold on. The second week brings a promising return. On Saturday, 8 August, we’ve got a solid 6ft WNW swell with a 9-second period and moderate energy (551) in the morning. The wind is light offshore, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon is even better: 6ft from the WNW, 10-second period, and a solid offshore wind from the WNW. The energy jumps to 681 (moderate-to-strong). This is the real standout for the whole forecast – it’s the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful day. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for the crew with some experience, this is the one to circle.

Sunday, 9 August, stays solid with a 6ft W swell, 9-second period, light wind, and energy at 632 (moderate) in the morning. The afternoon drops a bit but is still clean. Monday, 10 August, holds a 6ft WNW swell with moderate offshore wind and energy of 474 – still good, but less clean by the afternoon. After that, Tuesday, 11 August, the swell starts to fade, and the wind gets strong, so it’s a downward slide.

So, for the best sessions: Monday 27 July for the first pulse, and then save your energy for Saturday 8 August and Sunday 9 August. That second weekend is the one that’s really got the juice.

Rusty.
