Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s headed our way. It’s gonna be a patchy run, but there are a couple of moments that could get you out of the water with a smile.

We’re starting on Thursday the 3rd of September, and honestly, it’s flat and ugly. The first couple of days are just small, weak slop with a cross-shore breeze. The wave energy is barely there, and it’s not worth suiting up.

Friday the 4th shows some life by the afternoon. The wind goes offshore from the northwest, and we get a 6ft swell from the west-northwest. The period is short at 9 seconds, so it’s not the most powerful, but the clean offshore wind makes it rideable. It’s our first real chance to get wet.

Saturday the 5th is the one to circle. The swell builds to a solid 7ft from the west-northwest, with a long-period groundswell of 13 seconds. That’s proper energy – you’ll feel the push. The morning has a light cross-onshore, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze. The combined energy is 1308, which is a lot of power. This is the best day of the whole outlook. If you’ve got experience, this is your day.

Sunday the 6th drops back hard. The swell falls to 3ft and the wind turns onshore. Stay on the couch.

From Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th, we’ve got a run of solid but not perfect surf. Swells sit between 6ft and 8ft, mostly from the west-northwest, with periods of 9 to 10 seconds. Winds are mostly cross-off, keeping the surface pretty clean. The energy stays moderate to strong, hitting 1936 on Tuesday afternoon. These are good working days, but Saturday still takes the cake.

The 10th and 11th of September bring another clean spell with offshore winds. Swells around 5ft to 7ft, decent period, and the wind is offshore or gentle offshore. Energy ranges from 380 to 697 – not huge, but consistent and clean.

From the 12th onward, the surf tapers off. Saturday the 12th has a glassy morning with tiny 3ft waves, and by Sunday the 13th, the swell picks back up but with messy cross-shore wind. Monday the 14th sees a 7ft groundswell with a very long 14-second period, but the cross-shore wind and moderate breeze make it tricky. That long period works best on a reef or point, not a beach break.

Tuesday the 15th of September is a small, clean finish. Offshore winds, 4ft swell, 12-second period, and light breeze. It’s tiny but clean.

After that, it’s all downhill. The last few days from the 16th onward are tiny, blown out, or just not worth the paddle. The 17th has a 2ft swell with offshore wind, but it’s marginal. The 18th is a total washout with strong wind and rain.

The takeaway: Saturday the 5th of September is your standout. The rest has some clean windows, but that day has the size, the long period, and the best energy of the whole stretch. Trez Hir rarely breaks, so when it lines up like this, you’ve gotta be ready to go.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Signing off, Rusty.
