Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's talk about Trez Hir. This spot is a bit of a tease. It rarely breaks according to the guide, so we need a specific swell and wind combo to get it working. The forecast shows we're in for a lot of close-out, poor-quality days with a few distinct windows where it could get really good, especially for experienced surfers.

Water temp is sitting at about 63°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

We kick off this Friday morning, September 4th, with some lumpy 5ft swell from the W at 8 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 566, and with a cross-off shore wind, it’s looking marginal. Definitely not the session to write home about. By the afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the NW and the swell picks up a touch to 6ft, and the energy bumps to 501. It gets a bit cleaner, but it's still not a standout.

Now, Saturday the 5th is where things get interesting. The morning has a decent 7ft WNW swell with a 13-second period – that's proper groundswell energy, cranking 1488. The wind is a light cross-on from the ESE, though, so it might have a bit of texture. But hold on for the afternoon: clean 6ft WNW swell, 12-second period, and light offshore NW wind. The energy is still a strong 1034 and it's coming from the WNW, which is close to the optimum SSW direction, so it'll wrap in pretty well. This is a real contender for the best session of the whole period.

Sunday the 6th drops right off – small, weak, and onshore. Not worth paddling out.

Monday the 7th is another absolute beauty for the experienced crew. The morning sees 7ft of W swell at a long 13 seconds, with 1487 energy and a cross-offshore wind. That's pumping. It's over 5ft, so it's getting a bit meaty for beginners, but for an intermediate or expert, this is prime. The afternoon is still clean with 7ft and light winds.

Tuesday the 8th cleans up nicely with offshore NW winds, but the swell drops to 5ft and the period shortens a little. Good, but not the same level as Monday.

Wednesday the 9th morning gives us a nice clean 7ft WNW swell with cross-off winds, but it gets sloppy in the afternoon as the wind swings onshore.

The rest of the outlook from Thursday the 10th onward is mostly marginal or poor. There’s a bump on Wednesday the 16th with a clean 5ft swell and offshore wind, which is worth a look, but the main event is clearly Saturday the 5th afternoon and Monday the 7th morning. If you can only pick one, make it Monday the 7th for the power and the clean cross-off breeze. For the bulk of the rest of the two weeks, it's flat or junky. Stay tuned, though – things can change.

Rusty.
