Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me get my head around this one. It’s been a quiet run down at Trez Hir, and honestly, the next week or so is mostly a write-off for any real fun waves. We’ve got a little bump of energy trying to show up around the middle of the month, but it’s not exactly setting the world on fire. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

Right now, through the weekend and into the start of next week, we’re looking at tiny, weak leftovers. Swell heights are hovering around 0.7ft to 2ft, with periods mostly under 8 seconds – just not enough push to do anything with. Winds are mostly light to moderate, so the surface will be clean, but it’s flat. There’s barely a whisper of energy, with combined swell readings in the single digits (8 to 23). Honestly, it’s a good time to take the dog for a walk or check the tide pools.

By Wednesday the 12th, we finally see the combined energy tick up a notch, hitting 143 in the afternoon with a 3ft swell from the west. The wind goes light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but the period is only 9 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Still nothing to get excited about.

The first real hint of something better arrives on Thursday the 13th. We’ve got a 4ft west swell with an 11-second period on the morning, and solid offshore winds from the northwest. The combined energy jumps to 338 (moderate kick), so those waves will have a bit more shape and push. It’s not a monster, but it’s the best looking session in this whole stretch. The afternoon holds similar size with a little more wind, so the morning window is your pick. Just keep in mind, Trez Hir is exposed to the west and that offshore flow will keep things clean.

After that, Friday the 14th drops back down to 3ft, and the energy fades again through the weekend. Monday the 17th is back to tiny stuff.

Now, looking further out, there’s a bigger pulse trying to show up. On Saturday the 22nd, the swell builds to 6ft from the west-northwest, but the period is only 9 seconds and the wind is a stiff cross-off, so it’s going to be a bit of a messy, blown-out affair. The combined energy is a strong 483 (moderate to strong), but the quality just isn’t there for a clean paddle surf. Honestly, on that Saturday and into Sunday the 23rd, with a 10ft swell and that much wind, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The northwest wind is going to rip that open face, and for a kite, it would be game on.

But if you’re looking for a standout, it’s Thursday the 13th. That morning session with the 4ft west swell, 11-second period, and clean offshore wind is your best shot at some fun, lined-up walls. It’s intermediate-friendly, just don’t expect waves of the year. For the second week, that Saturday the 22nd pulse is promising but less certain – the swell size is there, but the wind and period have me holding off on getting too hyped. It could clean up, but it’s a long-range call.

Signing off from the beach.
