Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is a tough one to call. You know how it is, sometimes the ocean just rolls over and plays dead, and that’s what we’re looking at for the next couple of weeks. Trez Hir is gonna be a quiet one for a while.

Look, the first real surf we see is a tiny pulse on Sunday afternoon, the 2nd of August. We're talking about a 1.3ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The water temp is sitting at 64.9°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the extra rubber just yet. But the wind is a cross-off from the NNW at 12 mph, and the wave energy is a weak 47. It's clean, but it's just not worth getting wet for. It's a no-go.

Monday the 3rd is a write-off too. A tiny 2ft swell from the WSW with a weak 8-second period. The wind is cross-off in the morning, then turns cross in the afternoon, and the conditions are just ordinary. You’d be fighting for scraps.

Tuesday the 4th picks up a little, with a 3.6ft southwest swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds. The wind is a solid 12-15 mph cross-shore, creating a lumpy chop. The energy is moderate (144 on Tuesday morning, 131 in the afternoon), but the quality is poor. This is the kind of day you might see a kite surfer out, but for a paddle surfer, it’s not worth the hassle.

Now, Wednesday the 5th of August is the only real standout in this whole outlook. The swell bumps up to 5.9ft in the morning, and by the afternoon it’s 6.2ft from the WNW with an 8-second period. The wind swings offshore from the WNW at 12 mph, and the wave energy is a solid 467. That's a proper amount of juice in the water. The forecast calls for good surf conditions. This is the one. You’ll want to be an intermediate or above, though, because that 6.2ft is getting into the zone where it's not for groms. The swell direction is a solid match for the break. It’s the only window of quality in the whole 16 days.

After that, it’s a long, slow slide into nothing. Thursday the 6th drops off fast, and the rest of the week is full of tiny, weak swells (0.7ft to 2ft) with poor conditions. You’ll see a glassy moment on Friday morning the 7th, but it’s on a 2ft wave with a 6-second period—just a lake. For the rest of the first week and all of the second week, the swell is virtually non-existent, with wave energy often dropping into single digits or just a few dozen. The wind is either cross or cross-off, and the conditions are persistently poor. There's a gap of nearly a week with no real recommendations here.

The 17th of August tries to offer a little something—a 3.6ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period and a light cross-off breeze, but it’s still labeled as ordinary. The surfable waves just aren't there.

So, bottom line: if you absolutely have to surf, keep your eyes on Wednesday the 5th of August. That’s your one shot at a decent session. For the rest of it, save your energy, do some waxing, and wait for the next proper swell. The ocean’s got nothing to give us right now.
