Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty, checking in with a look at the surf ahead for our little slice of the coast.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The next few days are a bit of a write-off, but don't worry, there’s some serious energy brewing for the middle of next week. The first real chance to get wet will be Saturday morning the 5th, but it’s touch and go. After that, the real magic is looking at Monday the 7th.

Let’s break it down. Saturday the 5th starts with a clean, clear morning. The wind is light, coming from the ENE at 3 mph, just a slight cross-onshore breeze. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the WNW, with a period of 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The water is 63°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no need to worry about a wetsuit change. The combined energy is strong (1488), but the call is “marginal” due to tide questions. Saturday afternoon cleans up with a cross-offshore breeze, but the energy drops slightly.

Sunday the 6th is a no-go. Strong onshore winds and a bumpy ocean mean you’re better off waxing your board at home.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 7th is the standout. The morning is cloudy, but the wind is a clean offshore from the NW at 9 mph. The swell is 7 ft from the W, with a period of 13 seconds, packing a punch with a combined energy of 1397. This is excellent surf, but at 7 ft, it’s getting into the territory where it’s best for the experienced crew. This is a solid, powerful groundswell, and the offshore wind will have it lining up clean. Trez Hir is a spot that rarely breaks, so when it does, you need to be there. The afternoon continues with the same-sized swell, though the wind goes cross-offshore.

Tuesday the 8th holds some good waves too, with a 6 ft swell from the WNW in the morning and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The wind picks up a bit in the afternoon to a moderate offshore, keeping things clean. The energy is still moderate to strong.

After Tuesday, things start to fade. Wednesday the 9th has some decent-sized swell (6 ft) but the wind is cross-offshore, and the conditions are just “marginal.” By Thursday the 10th, the swell drops right off, and we get a few days of messy, onshore winds. The swell period drops to 6-7 seconds, so it’s just weak, windswell junk.

We get a brief glimpse of hope on Friday the 11th with a 6 ft swell from the W and a clean offshore wind in the morning. The energy is moderate (541), and it’s “good” surf, but not the standout of the week.

From Saturday the 12th onwards, it’s a long, flat, and blown-out stretch. The wind is strong and cross-shore, and the swell is tiny, often under 3 ft. The period drops, and the energy is weak. There’s a brief window on Saturday the 19th with a glassy morning and a tiny 3 ft swell, but it’s not worth paddling out for. The last week of the forecast is a desert, with very little to offer.

So, to sum it up: Monday the 7th is the absolute best call. Get on it early for the cleanest conditions. The 7 ft groundswell with offshore wind is a proper session. Tuesday the 8th is a solid backup. The rest of the run is a mixed bag of waiting and watching the forecast.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
