Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Trez Hir has in store for us. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there are a couple of proper windows to get excited about if you’re patient.

Right now, and for the next couple of days, it’s pretty grim. The swell is messy and not well organized, with the wind all over the place. Tuesday morning has some real cross-off juice at 8ft, but that NNW wind is howling at 31 mph, making it a complete mess. Not worth the drive. Wednesday and Thursday are small and weak – just bumpy leftovers. We’re looking at a handful of days with nothing on offer.

Things start to settle down on Friday morning. The wind swings offshore and we get a clean 5ft of west swell. It’s not huge, but it’s a start. Then, Saturday morning looks magic. Glassy conditions with a clean 4ft of WNW swell and moderate energy (475). It’s the kind of morning that makes you want to be first in the water.

But the real standout is Saturday afternoon. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the WNW, the period jumps to a very long 13 seconds, and the wave energy is cranking (1058). Plus, it’s clean with a light cross-off breeze. This is the best of the first week, no doubt. This is where you want to be. The long period will make it line up nicely here.

Sunday holds in some good, clean WNW groundswell, with the morning session looking prime at 6ft and a 12-second period. The afternoon gets a bit cloudier and the call is more marginal. After that, the surf fades again for a few days, with a small, weak pulse mid-week that’s mostly blown out or too cross.

Hold on to your hats for the second week. Around September 21st, the ocean switches on in a big way. The models are hinting at a serious pulse of long-period WNW groundswell. Monday morning is looking at 7ft with a 17-second period and a near-gale offshore wind. The energy reading is off the charts (2841). This is big, raw power. It’s going to be hard to paddle into and take off on, but the potential is there. The afternoon eases slightly to 8ft, but that strong offshore is still going to make it a battle. This is for experts only. It’s a long way out, but if this materializes, it’ll be the highlight of the whole run.

After that, the swell eases quickly. Tuesday afternoon on the 22nd looks like the cleaner, more manageable option with a solid 5ft of WNW groundswell and moderate offshore winds. It’s a much better bet for most of us than the giant, stormy stuff the day before.

So, to sum it up: tough start, a great window from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning, then a quiet spell before a powerful, wild swell around the 21st. Keep an eye on that long-range call. I’ll be out there for the Saturday arvo session for sure.
