Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Trez Hir over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, this is a stretch where you’ll need patience – there’s barely a ripple for the first four days, and then just a few brief windows of reasonable surf mixed in with a lot of ordinary conditions. Trez Hir is a spot that rarely breaks, so this kind of blank run isn’t a huge surprise.

The first real chance for a wave comes on Sunday morning the 26th of July. There’s a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the NW at 12 mph and a bump in swell to 6 ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds – that’s windswell, not groundswell, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and fat. The combined wave energy is moderate (310). It’s not going to be classic Trez Hir, but it’s the first surfable option in five days.

Monday morning the 27th of July looks a little cleaner. Swell holds at 5 ft from the WNW, period stretches to 9 seconds, and the offshore wind is light from the NNW at 6 mph. The energy is still moderate (395). It’s the best of the early run, but don’t expect perfection – it’s only a 2 out of 10 for me.

After that, we drop into a long stretch of small, weak, and often windy days through to Friday the 31st of July. Swell hangs around 3 ft with short periods, and the wind is mostly cross-offshore from the north. The energy stays below 150. Surfable but very ordinary.

Now, if you’re looking for the standout, it’s Saturday the 1st of August. That morning we’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW at 6 mph, and combined energy jumping to a moderate 271. The afternoon is also clean with a moderate offshore from the WNW at 12 mph, holding the same 4 ft on 10 seconds and energy at 267. That’s the best on offer – but crowds are possible here, so keep that in mind.

The following week from Sunday the 2nd of August onwards gets messy. Swell tries to stay around 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore or onshore from the south, and periods drop or get short. On Tuesday the 4th of August, the combined energy spikes to a strong 576 with a 6 ft swell from the west at 10 seconds, but the cross-onshore wind from the SSE and SSW at 12–16 mph will chop it up badly. Not worth paddling out in that.

Bottom line: if you’re keen, target Saturday the 1st of August – that’s your best shot for a clean, fun session. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too inconsistent to get excited about.

The water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is about 1°F cooler than average for late July – nothing unusual, just a touch fresh on the skin.

Stay patient, stay stoked.
