Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab a coffee and have a listen. Things are about as quiet as I can remember for this stretch of coast, so don't get too excited just yet.

The only spot worth even talking about is Trez Hir, and even then, we're looking at a long, slow build. Right now, Sunday the 26th, it’s a write-off with howling cross-offshore winds and messy, short-period swell. Not worth getting wet.

The first real flicker of hope comes Monday morning, the 27th. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at (553), and the period is a solid 10 seconds, so there's some push. That Monday afternoon holds up too with a slightly smaller 5ft swell and moderate offshore wind. This is your best window in the first week—clean, lined-up, and the crowds should be manageable since it’s a weekday. It’s a gem for the intermediate crew; the 5ft-plus size keeps it from being a beginner’s playground.

After that, Tuesday through to the start of August is a flat spell. We're talking days of tiny, weak swell and poor surf conditions. The energy drops right off, with values as low as (17) by the 8th. A few mornings have clean conditions, but the swell is barely a ripple. A complete dry spell for nearly two weeks.

Now, here’s the long-range tease. Look at Sunday the 9th of August. The afternoon shows a jump to a solid 6ft WNW swell, period bumps to 10 seconds, and the combined energy shoots up to (670)—that’s strong and punchy. It stays clean with a moderate offshore wind. This is the standout of the entire 16-day run, but it’s a way off, so treat it as a promising rumour for now. If it holds, that is going to be some proper Trez Hir.

And then Monday the 10th of August follows up with a clean 5ft and a light breeze. That could be a late-morning session to keep an eye on if the Sunday comes through.

So, to wrap it up: don't bother paddling out until Monday the 27th. If you can sneak a session then, go for it. Then forget about surfing until the 9th of August, and cross your fingers that the forecast delivers.

Rusty.
