Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks for Trez Hir. It’s going to be a story of two halves, with some proper potential early on, and then a real fade-out as we head deeper into the month.

The forecast starts this Saturday morning with some chest to head-high waves. We’re looking at 7ft of WNW swell with a 13-second period. The energy is strong, sitting at 1488, so there’s plenty of push, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll have a few bumps on it. It’s not totally clean, but the size is there.

Saturday afternoon drops a touch to 6ft, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore, and the forecast calls for very good surf conditions. This could be a fun session, the kind where you’re looking at the lineup and thinking it’s all on. The energy is still moderate-strong at 1034. It’s a good start to the weekend.

Now, Sunday looks like a write-off. The swell drops right away to 3ft and the wind swings onshore, making a mess of things. Steer clear. Monday is where things get interesting again. The swell jumps back up to 7ft, with a 13-second period from the west, and the morning wind is offshore. This is the standout. The energy is the highest we see in the whole run, hitting 1510. The forecast flags it as excellent for experienced surfers, and this is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon stays similar in size but the wind gets stronger and more cross-off, so the morning is the clear winner.

After that, Tuesday through to the following weekend is a mixed bag. Tuesday has some size, 6ft, but the wind is up and it’s mostly cross-off. It’s not going to be a disaster, but it’s not going to be classic either. We get another pulse of 7ft on Wednesday, but the wind is cross-off and it’s a bit lumpy. Things get smaller from Thursday onwards, with the swell dropping to 4ft or less. There are some clean windows, like Thursday afternoon with a gentle breeze and clean conditions, but the waves are small and the periods are short. It’s not really worth getting excited about. That whole stretch from the 10th through to the 13th is a bit of a grind, you’ll be chasing scraps.

Then we enter a period with some longer period swell on the 14th and 15th, but the size is tiny. There’s a 16-second period on Monday the 14th but only 2ft of swell. The wind on Monday arvo is a strong offshore, which makes paddling out tough for not much reward. The 15th sees a bit more size, 4ft, with a 14-second period, and the wind is a fresh offshore, keeping it clean. But it’s still pretty small and the energy is only moderate. It’s a promise of something better, but it never really delivers.

From the 16th onwards, it just fades away. The swell continues to drop, the periods get shorter, and the energy dips into the low hundreds and then below one hundred. There will be some clean mornings with an offshore breeze, but the waves are going to be ankle to knee high. It’s flat, plain and simple. The last good look is on the 15th, and after that, you might as well find something else to do for a week. This break is rarely breaking anyway, and this looks like one of those times.

So, the plan is simple. Hit it hard on Monday the 7th. That’s the best of the bunch by a long way. Saturday the 5th is a decent warm-up. After that, keep your expectations low and your board under the house.

Rusty out.
