Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, I’ll be straight with you, Trez Hir. It’s a tough outlook. The water is sitting at 63°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a little on the mild side. The biggest problem is that this spot is listed as rarely breaking, and over the next 16 days, it’s mostly living up to that reputation. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about right through the middle of the period.

We start off with Monday morning, 6th July. There’s a small 3ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and it’s glassy. The energy is weak (107). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind stays light and clean through the afternoon, but the swell drops slightly.

Tuesday morning, 7th, goes glassy again but the swell drops to 2ft. It’s just too small. The rest of the week into the weekend is a washout – small, windy, or cross-onshore. The 10th of July, Friday afternoon, we get a bit of a clean-up with offshore winds and a 3ft WNW swell, but it’s still just “surfable” at best.

Then we hit a dead zone. From Sunday the 12th right through to Friday the 17th, it’s all poor. Tiny waves, lumpy cross-chop, or just plain flat. That’s a solid six days of nothing.

The first real flicker of life comes later in the second week. Saturday the 18th, there’s a jump – a 7ft WNW swell hits in the afternoon, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy jumps to moderate (357). The wind is fresh offshore from the NNW, so it’ll be clean. But this is a short-period swell, and at 7ft, it’s getting into the size that’s better for experienced surfers. It’s also a beach break, so that short period will make it a bit lumpy and less organized. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have some company. This is the only real standout, but it’s a long way off and a bit rough around the edges.

After that, there’s a flat day on the 19th, then Monday the 20th brings a clean 4ft swell, and Tuesday the 21st sees a 5ft WNW swell with a moderate offshore wind, decent energy (324 to 371), and a period of 8-9 seconds. That Tuesday afternoon looks like the best of the bunch for the whole outlook – clean, offshore, and a bit of push. But again, it’s over a week away, so keep an eye on it.

Overall, there’s barely a couple of windows here. The best bet is the 21st of July, but it’s a long way out. The 18th could be a wildcard for the brave. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.

Rusty.
