Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get stuck into it.

So, the outlook for the next two weeks is a bit of a mixed bag. The surf is not a total write-off, but it’s definitely not a non-stop party either. The best stuff is going to be concentrated around the first few days, and then we’re looking at a long quiet spell after that.

The spot on the menu is Trez Hir. It’s a reefy setup that’s a bit of a prize on the right day, but it rarely breaks, so it’s not the kind of wave you can just roll up to and expect a session. The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The real standout is going to be Monday, September 7th. That’s your window. The early morning session is looking absolutely mint. You’ve got a solid 7 ft groundswell from the west, with a long period of 13 seconds pumping in. The wind is offshore from the northwest at 9 mph, so it’s going to be clean, lined-up, and properly powerful. The combined energy is a beefy 1510, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. This is for experienced surfers only, though. That size and power at a reef break is no joke. The afternoon will still be very good, but with a touch more cross-off wind, so the morning is the pick.

Before that, Saturday, September 5th has some interesting waves. The morning is a bit messy with a cross-on breeze, but the swell is a solid 7 ft from the WNW with a nice 13-second period. The afternoon cleans right up with offshore wind, dropping to 6 ft. It’s not the best on offer, but it’s a solid surf.

After that Monday peak, the quality drops off fast. Tuesday, September 8th is a bit of a downer. The morning has a bit of rain and a cross-shore wind, making it marginal. The afternoon is better, with a clean offshore breeze but only 4 ft of swell. Wednesday, September 9th is workable in the morning with clean 5 ft surf, but it's nothing to write home about. From Thursday, September 10th onwards, it’s a long, slow decline. There’s a gap of several days here where the surf is either too small or too wind-affected to really recommend. The swell drops to under 3 ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, creating lumpy, messy conditions. The waves pop back up a little around the 18th and 19th, but the wind is all wrong, blowing hard from the northeast, making it a lumpy cross-shore mess. Honestly, for the second week, it’s looking more like a kiteboarding session than a paddle surf, with the strong onshore winds and cross-chop.

So, to sum it up, your best bet is the morning of Monday, September 7th. That’s the only true standout. After that, the forecast is pretty grim. Don’t hold your breath for the second week—it’s a long, quiet stretch.

Rusty.
