Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. This is your local surf outlook for Trez Hir, starting now and looking sixteen days ahead.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a window. Monday the 27th of July is looking like the standout in this whole forecast. We’re seeing a solid 6ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the NW at 9 mph. That’s clean, lined-up surf. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is moderate at 565, and it’s pushing in with some real push. Trez Hir is a spot that rarely breaks, so when it does, you pay attention. Monday morning is the pick – that offshore breeze will have the faces glassy. It’s a bit much for beginners at 6ft, but intermediate surfers will be in their element. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

Monday afternoon holds up too, with a similar 5ft swell and a moderate offshore breeze at 12 mph. Still clean, still good.

Tuesday the 28th drops off a bit. The swell drops to 4ft in the morning, but the wind goes glassy – dead calm from the NE. That’s a major positive. The waves will be clean but smaller, with combined energy down to 236. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Afternoon gets a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things tidy on the 3ft swell.

From Wednesday the 29th through to the end of the first week, the swell fades fast. We’re looking at 3ft to 1.0ft, with periods dropping to 8-9 seconds. The energy drops to weak numbers, like 104 or even lower. The wind stays mostly cross-offshore, but the lack of size means it’s not really worth paddling out unless you’re desperate for a splash. The second half of the week is a write-off; Friday the 31st through to Monday the 3rd of August is just tiny, weak waves with poor conditions. That’s a gap of several days with nothing to recommend.

Then, around Friday the 7th of August, something catches the eye. The afternoon brings a jump to 5ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the combined energy is 200. The wind is cross-offshore, but the whole setup is messy. The following Saturday the 8th of August has a bigger 6ft swell, but wind is howling at 25 mph from the NNW. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The energy is strong at 744, but it’s blown out.

Sunday the 9th of August has a similar 6ft swell, but with a fresh offshore breeze at 19 mph. That could be a late call for experienced surfers, but it’s marginal. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so it’s not going to be a classic.

The last few days of the forecast, from the 10th of August onward, drop back to small, weak waves. The 11th of August shows a glassy morning, but with zero swell, it’s a flat day.

So, the honest truth: the best on offer is Monday the 27th of July. That’s your window. After that, it’s a long stretch of small, weak, or messy surf. The second week has a couple of bigger swells, but they’re compromised by wind and short periods. Don’t hold your breath for a classic.
