Trez Hir Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Trez Hir. I’ll be honest with you, the next week and a bit is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for, so don’t bother checking the cams just yet. The real action doesn’t fire up until we get into the first week of September, and even then, it’s a slow build.

The opening days are grim. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are small and messy, with weak energy (35 and 109) and cross-onshore winds ruining any chance of a decent wave. That continues right through the end of August – bumpy, onshore, and generally depressing. The swell energy does kick up on Thursday the 27th (1442) with a solid 8ft SW swell, but again it’s blown out by cross-onshore winds. Unless you’re into a battle, it’s a miss.

We do start to see a shift around the 30th and 31st. The winds go cross-offshore and the surf cleans up nicely, but the swell height is all over the place and the scores are still low. It looks better than it is – keep your expectations in check.

Now, the standout. Saturday the 5th of September is where things get interesting. Trez Hir will start to pump. The morning is a tease, but the afternoon session is the real deal. You’re looking at a clean 8ft swell from the WNW with moderate offshore winds. That’s proper, powerful surf with a lot of energy behind it (1079). This is for experienced surfers only – the size and power will be too much for beginners.

Then, hang on to your board. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September are the absolute highlights of this entire outlook. Sunday morning has a 5ft swell from the west with a very long period of 20 seconds and light offshore winds – glassy, clean, and incredibly organised. The combined energy is massive (2188), indicating strong, consistent waves. This is point-break type swell; it’ll be hollow and fast. The afternoon only gets better with 6ft and clean offshore winds. Monday the 7th is more of the same – a solid 7ft W swell with a 14-second period and light winds. The energy readings (2297 and 2848) are through the roof. These days are for the experienced crew only – it’ll be big, powerful, and absolutely thrilling.

To round it out, Tuesday the 8th of September also holds excellent conditions with overhead, clean surf and offshore winds.

So, to sum it up: dodge the first week completely. Your window is from the 5th to the 8th of September. Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are the absolute best on offer – mark it in the calendar and get ready for a proper session. Don’t be surprised if it’s busy, as Trez Hir can get crowds when it’s this good.

Rusty.
