Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s heading our way.

We’ve got a solid run of swell on the horizon, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The first few days are messy, with a big pulse of energy that’s more about power than quality. Then things clean up, and the back half of the period looks promising.

For Sunday the 16th, Trigg Beach is the only game in town, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a 6ft to 7ft WSW groundswell with a long 16-second period, pushing moderate to strong combined energy (1766-2066). The wind is cross-off from the NNE, so it’ll be clean, but the wave comment says it’s marginal. It’s surfable, but not the best.

Monday the 17th is a write-off. The wind swings onshore and ramps up, the swell gets jumbled, and the energy jumps but with no quality. Tuesday the 18th is a different story – the swell hits 12ft with very strong energy (6070-6270) and it goes glassy in the morning. It's huge though. For an intermediate spot like Trigg, that’s expert territory. The wave comment says it’s too big for this break. The water temp anomaly is about average for this time of year.

Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th are still on the big side, with 8ft to 10ft of swell, but the wind is on it or cross-shore, so it’s lumpy and marginal.

The first real standout is Friday the 21st. The swell drops to a cleaner 8ft, still a long-period WSW groundswell (15 seconds). Combined energy is strong (2843-3282). But the wind goes offshore from the ENE and E – glassy clean conditions. The comment says *excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers*. That’s the window. It’s big but not insane, and the offshore wind will hold it open nicely on the point. Crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone.

After that, Saturday the 22nd drops off a bit with smaller swell and cross-shore wind. Sunday the 23rd is another clean one with offshore wind and a gentler 6ft swell – good for a wider range of skill levels.

We hit another lull from Monday the 24th through Thursday the 28th. The swell drops right down, and when it tries to build again, the wind is on it and messy. Not worth paddling out.

The second standout is Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th. This is the long-range call. Saturday morning the 29th shows an 8ft WSW groundswell with a cracking 18-second period – very long period groundswell. Combined energy is very strong (4726). It’s glassy offshore. The comment says *excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers*. That long period will break really straight on a beach break, but Trigg is a beach and point, so the point should help shape it up. This is a potential classic for those who can handle it. Sunday the 30th keeps the size at 10ft with clean cross-off wind. Again, expert territory.

Monday the 31st looks good on paper with 12ft and glassy conditions, but that’s getting too big for this spot again.

So the best bets are the clean Friday the 21st and the long-period glass on Saturday the 29th. Mark your calendar.

Rusty.
