Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s ahead for Trez Hir.

Listen, the next week and a half is going to be a real mixed bag, and mostly a frustrating one for paddle surfing. There’s a lot of muscle in the water at times, but the wind and conditions are going to fight us for most of it.

We start off with a real flat spell. Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are write-offs – tiny, weak, and messy with cross-onshore winds. You’re looking at knee-high slop with combined energy barely cracking 92 to 215 (moderate wave energy), so don’t even bother.

Friday the 28th morning shows a slight pulse, with a 5ft swell from the WSW, but it’s still got that cross-shore chop. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there yet.

The weekend kicks up some serious size, but it’s rough. Saturday the 29th sees the swell jump to 8ft with strong cross-winds hitting 25 mph. Combined energy hits 711 to 785 (strong wave energy), but it’s a messy, lumpy beast – more of a kite-surfing vibe than a paddle session. Sunday the 30th is much the same: big 7ft swell but those fresh breezes keep it lumpy, even if the afternoon looks a touch cleaner.

Now, here’s the light at the end of the tunnel. Monday the 31st is the standout. We finally get a proper offshore wind from the NW, light at 9 mph, and a solid 8ft groundswell from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a whopping 1094 (very strong wave energy), and it’s described as “very good surf conditions.” This is the day for the experienced crew. It’s a bit heavy for beginners at that size, but for anyone with skill, the wave quality is going to be excellent. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might see a few others out, but it’ll be worth it.

Tuesday the 1st of September holds some fun, clean waves around 6ft, but the energy drops a bit. After that, we slide back into mediocrity through the first week of September – onshore winds, smaller swell, and mostly poor conditions.

Then, hold on. Monday the 7th of September is another potential bomb. It’s a long way out, so take it with a grain of salt, but the data shows a massive 8ft groundswell from the west with an 11-second period, and the afternoon combined energy is an enormous 3057 (very strong wave energy). With light offshore winds, this could be an epic day for the experts. It’s going to be big, powerful, and clean, with long, lined-up sets. This one is for the big-wave chargers.

The following Tuesday the 8th still looks fun with 6ft waves and clean conditions before it all fades into small, wind-affected dribble for the rest of the period.

So, to sum it up: skip this week and suffer through the weekend. Circle Monday the 31st of August and maybe, *maybe* Monday the 7th of September. Those are your windows. The rest is a whole lot of nothing good.

Rusty.
