The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Trez Hir in feet and knots, yeah? We’ve got a slow start, but the week builds to something special if you’re patient.
First few days are flat and frustrating. Tuesday (25th August) you’re looking at waist-high slop – maybe 2ft with weak energy (115 on the meter) and crosswind. Wednesday (26th) afternoon goes glassy but the swell is barely there, maybe 2ft from the south-southwest. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Thursday (27th) has more size but it’s cross-onshore and choppy. No good.
Friday 28th August afternoon – now we’re talking. Wind goes offshore from the northwest, swell runs about 8ft from the west with a clean 8-second interval. The energy jumps to 834 – moderate but solid. That’s your first real session of the run. This spot rarely breaks, so when it does, you want to be there. Crowds are possible, but that’s the price of admission.
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th are a mixed bag – windy, lumpy, with some clean-ish windows Saturday afternoon. Not the best.
Monday 31st August and Tuesday 1st September have cleaner conditions. Tuesday morning is a gem – 5ft west swell, gentle offshore wind from the WNW, and 446 energy. A very nice, manageable day for the average surfer.
Now for the second week. Wednesday 2nd September morning shows a strong pulse – 8ft west swell with 30 km/h wind, but the energy is 1670. It’s surfable but hairy. The real standout is Saturday 5th September. That morning you’ve got 8ft of west-northwest swell with a 10-second period, light offshore wind, and 1207 energy. That’s a proper session. The afternoon goes nuclear: 8ft west-northwest, 11-second period (groundswell), offshore wind, and a massive 2817 on the energy meter. The file says *excellent for experienced surfers* – and it is. At 8ft with that period, it’s for the experienced crew only. Long period means better shape but bigger gaps between sets. Crowds are possible, and for a rare-break spot, you better be early.
Sunday 6th September gets messy with strong cross-onshore wind. Monday 7th September morning is a howling near gale offshore (37 mph winds) with 10ft swell – nearly impossible to paddle into. The afternoon (7th Sept) shows a ridiculous 20ft west swell with an 18-second period and 24,274 energy, but it’s clearly too big for this break. Only the absolute madmen would even think about it. Tuesday 8th September morning is cleaner but still huge – 10ft west swell with a 14-second period.
Your takeaway: Friday 28th August afternoon and Saturday 5th September are your days. The 5th is the big one – clean, powerful, but only for the experienced. The 28th is a more friendly option for the rest of us.
Keep an eye on the horizon.

Information about the Trez Hir Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Trez Hir provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Trez Hir can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Trez Hir surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Trez Hir) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Trez Hir may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
