The Lowdown
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the surf scene here is flat-out quiet for a good stretch. We're looking at a solid run of tiny, weak waves that won't get your heart pumping. It's the kind of spell where you might as well tune up your board and check your wax, because there's not much to chase for the first week or so.
The first real chance of anything rideable doesn't show its face until around Wednesday the 13th. Even then, it's just a pulse of waist-high energy, but the wind is looking cross-off and the water is clean. That's a glimmer in the flat spell, but honestly, it's still pretty average. The morning of Thursday the 14th has a bit of a better look with a gentle offshore and a clean 3ft, but it's still not what we'd call a standout.
The real story starts to build towards the end of the run. There's a noticeable push of new energy around the 19th and 20th, swell sizes getting up there, but the winds are a bit messy and the period is short. It's not until the afternoon of Friday the 21st that things click. The swell is a solid 5ft from the WNW, and the light north-northeast breeze keeps it clean. That's the pick of the week, and it's still a couple of weeks away, so treat it as promising but not locked in.
The only named spot here is Trez-Hir, and it's a rare-breaker, so don't expect it to be a reliable go-to. It's a fairly exposed spot that wants a SSW swell, which we just aren't seeing. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a full wetsuit is still your friend.
The final few days of the run see the swell ease back down, leaving us with a bit of a fizzle as the window closes. The big problem is the wind direction – it's mostly cross-off or cross-on, which is okay, but the period is short and the waves are fat. If you're a beginner, those 5ft to 6ft days on the 19th and 20th will be too much, and the 6ft days are expert territory. The stronger, shorter-period swells might actually look more fun for a kite than a paddle board.
So, keep your eyes on that Friday the 21st afternoon. It's the one true standout in an otherwise quiet outlook. It's a long way off, but it's got the best combination of size, direction, and clean conditions. Until then, it's a waiting game.
