The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. It’s Rusty here, looking over the next couple of weeks for Trez Hir. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for right through the opening days. We’re looking at a real quiet spell until around Wednesday the 12th, and even then, it’s pretty weak.
Wednesday morning the 12th, we finally see a pulse of life. The swell ticks up to 3 ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is still modest at 125, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That’s a beautiful thing for clean conditions, but the waves are small and ordinary. Not a standout, but it’s the first breath of hope.
Thursday the 13th morning is where it starts to get interesting. Swell bumps up to 4 ft from the west, with a period stretching to 11 seconds – that’s a bit more grunt behind it. The combined energy jumps to 282, and we’ve got a gentle offshore wind from the WNW. That means clean, lined-up faces. This is the pick of the first week. It’s not huge, but it’s surfable and clean.
Through the rest of that week and into the next, the swell hangs around the 3 ft to 4 ft mark, mostly from the west to west-northwest. Winds stay offshore or clean for most of it, but the energy drops off again. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are okay – nothing to write home about, but you could get a few.
Now, looking further out – around Wednesday the 19th into Thursday the 20th – things start to build again. By Thursday afternoon the 20th, we’re looking at 6 ft from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy hits 708 – that’s a solid pulse. But here’s the catch: the wind is cross-offshore from the north at 25 km/h. It’ll be clean, but that’s a lot of juice for a spot that rarely breaks. This is a promise, not a guarantee – it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
Monday the 24th morning also shows a late pulse: 5 ft from the west, 8-second period, combined energy of 308, with light cross-offshore wind. Again, it’s a looker on paper, but we’re in the second week, so don’t bank on it.
Overall, the standout window is Thursday the 13th morning – that west swell with the gentle offshore and clean lines is your best bet. If you’re an experienced surfer, keep tabs on the 20th as a potential bigger session, but be aware it’s a long-range call and Trez Hir is inconsistent. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so if it fires, expect company.
No buoys to chat about, no past stories – just what’s in front of us. It’s been a slow run, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll scratch the itch.
Rusty.

Information about the Trez Hir Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trez Hir provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trez Hir can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trez Hir surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Trez Hir) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Trez Hir may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
