Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Trez Hir over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a slow start, but there’s a glimmer of hope if you’re willing to wait it out.

The next week or so is looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We’ve got a lot of days with tiny, weak surf, and the energy is just not there. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

#### Friday 07 to Thursday 13 August
Honestly, for the first few days, you’re not going to want to get wet. Friday morning is just small and messy, with a light cross-shore breeze. The swell is a paltry 1ft with a weak 17 units of energy. It’s just not doing anything. The afternoon doesn't get much better. The weekend is more of the same – tiny, weak, and mostly clean but completely lacking in any push. Monday and Tuesday have a bit more swell, but it's still small and weak, and those morning cross-shore breezes will keep things lumpy.

We finally see a slight pulse on Wednesday, the 12th. The swell climbs to a more defined 3ft, and the energy jumps to 159. It’s surfable, but it’s pretty ordinary. The wind is offshore in the afternoon, which is nice, but it’s still small and a bit gutless. Thursday and Friday keep that same energy level but the swell is a bit inconsistent. The swell direction is WSW, which is not ideal for this spot.

#### Saturday 15 to Sunday 16 August
The weekend brings a bit more size, but there’s no real quality to speak of. Saturday morning has a bit of a pulse with 2-3ft, but the energy is only 88. Saturday afternoon is a bit better with 3ft and 127 energy, with a clean offshore wind. Sunday sees the swell start to push up a bit more, hitting 3-4ft in the morning and 5ft by the afternoon, but the period drops off to 7 seconds, making it a bit jumbled and less powerful than the numbers suggest. The energy does get up there, though—227 on Sunday afternoon.

#### Monday 17 to Wednesday 19 August
Now we’re talking. Monday the 17th is the first real standout. The morning session is where it’s at. We’re looking at 5ft of swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the energy is a solid 305. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the waves are going to be clean and have some push to them. This is the best chance for a proper surf.

The energy drops off a bit in the afternoon, but Tuesday is a write-off. The morning is small, and the afternoon has a quick jump in size to 5ft, but it’s crossed up with a short period and lumpy conditions. Not good.

Wednesday the 19th is another big one. The morning has 5-6ft from the WNW and 386 energy, with a gentle offshore wind. The afternoon holds size at 5ft and 347 energy, with a moderate offshore breeze. This is another window for some proper waves, although the period is still only 8 seconds. The standout here is the consistency and the clean conditions.

#### Thursday 20 August onwards
Thursday morning still has some good energy, 5-6ft and 415 units, but the winds are starting to swing onshore, making it less clean. After that, things get messy. The swell gets bigger and more powerful, but the winds turn against us.

From Friday the 21st, we’ve got a real problem. The swell is up to 6ft and 7-8ft, and the energy is huge, but the wind is fresh and cross-onshore, making it lumpy and ugly. This trend continues into Saturday the 22nd with strong winds and rain showers. The swell is still there, but onshore winds will kill it for surfing. This kind of setup is just going to be a washing machine. Honestly, if this holds, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers.

So, to sum it up: the first week is flat and poor. The standout is Monday the 17th on the morning push, with Wednesday the 19th morning a close second. There is some size and energy out there in the second week, but the wind and onshore conditions look like they’ll ruin it. It’s a waiting game.

Rusty out.
