Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Trez Hir.

Right off the bat, we’re in a bit of a flat spell to start the period. The first sniff of anything worth paddling for is Monday the 6th of July. You’ll find small, clean 3ft waves from the WNW at 8 seconds, but the energy is weak at just 81 – honestly, it’s more of a float than a surf. The water’s sitting at 64°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

Truth is, the first week and a half is pretty grim. There’s a long stretch where the surf just isn’t on. From Monday afternoon, right through until Wednesday the 16th of July, it’s mostly poor conditions. Small, weak swells, a lot of cross-off and cross-shore winds, and scores that barely register. You’ll see a few moments where the energy ticks up – like Wednesday the 8th morning with a glassy 3ft wave and a period of 10 seconds giving a moderate 109 – but it’s still just ordinary. The wind turns offshore on Friday the 10th afternoon with a light breeze, but it’s still only 3ft.

Now, hold on to your board, because things finally switch on around Friday the 17th of July. This is where the wait pays off. Friday morning we see a clean 5ft swell from the west, a 9-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the WNW. The energy jumps to a solid 310. It’s not massive, but it’s clean, and the offshore breeze is going to make it a proper session.

But the real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Saturday the 18th of July. That morning, Trez Hir lights up with a 7ft west swell coming in at 8 seconds. The offshore wind is light from the NNW, and the combined energy reads a strong 583. That’s proper, punchy surf. It’s edging into expert territory at that size – if you’re not confident in overhead waves, sit this one out. The wind picks up in the afternoon and swings cross-off, so get out early. Sunday the 19th holds on with clean 6ft waves and offshore wind again, solid energy at 582.

Mind you, the break itself is a rarity – it rarely breaks, so when it does, you take notice. Crowds can happen, but with conditions this good, it’ll be worth a few extra people in the lineup.

The energy gets huge again on the 21st – a 8ft WNW swell with period hitting 11 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 2313. That afternoon the wind goes light and cross-off, and you can expect excellent conditions for experienced surfers. If you’re not an expert, stay out of the way.

So, bottom line: you’ve got a long, quiet run until the 17th. Then from Friday the 17th through to Tuesday the 21st, there’s real swell on the cards. Saturday the 18th morning is the pick of the bunch – overhead, clean, and firing.

Rusty, signing off.
