The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook for Trez Hir is a real mixed bag of mostly small, weak swell and tricky winds. The first week and a half is pretty grim, with barely anything worth paddling out for. The only real glimmer of hope, and it’s a distant one, arrives on the 16th of August.
The first solid window of opportunity doesn’t show up until the afternoon of Saturday the 15th of August. The morning is tiny and glassy but just 2 ft, not enough to grab. The afternoon sees a bump up to 5 ft from the W with a short 6-second period, and with offshore NW wind at 12 mph, the surface will be clean. It’s poor quality energy though, so it’s a hit-or-miss session for the committed.
The standout, and the one you want to circle on the calendar, is the afternoon of Sunday the 16th of August. Trez Hir will see a solid 8 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is a strong 1012, the biggest reading of the whole 16 days. The wind is light NW at 9 mph, blowing clean cross-offshore. This is the only time the forecast says “very good surf conditions.” That said, at 8 ft, this is expert territory – only for the experienced crew. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so expect a few others to have the same idea.
Before that, from the 3rd of August right through to the 15th, it’s a long, disappointing run. Nearly every session is scored as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and when it does bump up to 4 ft or 6 ft on the 4th and 5th, the wind is strong cross or cross-off, ruining the shape. The water temperature is 64° with a zero anomaly, so it’s dead average for this time of year.
The combined energy sits in the low two-digit values for most of that first week, only climbing into the low 100s on the 4th, but with that messy wind, it’s not worth the drive. The 5th sees a jump to 784 energy, but the wind is still too strong and cross-off, leaving it “marginal” at best.
For the morning of the 16th, the swell is the same size at 8 ft, but a cross-on E wind at 9 mph makes it a no-go. The afternoon is the sweet spot, but it’s a long way off.
So, in short: wait for the weekend of the 16th-17th of August. The only real stand-out is the Sunday afternoon session. The rest of the 16 days is a washout. Keep your eyes peeled, though – forecasts can change.

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.
