Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve only got one break on the table for this stretch, and that’s Trigg Beach. It’s a beach and point setup, so it can handle a bit of swell but it’s not a secret spot. The water temperature is sitting at 64°F, which is about 1.8°F cooler than usual for this time of year, so factor that into your wetsuit choice.

The week kicks off this Sunday morning, 6 September. There’s a solid 8.2ft groundswell from the WSW, with a period of 13 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 2331. The wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 19 mph, which is decent but not glassy. The surf is clean but the forecast says it’s only marginal, so don’t expect perfection. The morning session is your best bet, with the same 8.2ft swell, though the afternoon’s a bit lighter at 7.5ft.

Monday, 7 September, mornings are the standout. The swell holds at 8.2ft, but the period jumps to 16 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell, which means better shaped waves and more energy. The combined energy is strong at 3726. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the ESE at just 9 mph, making for clean conditions. This is a good one for experienced surfers. The afternoon gets windier, with a fresh breeze picking up to 19 mph, so don’t hang around too long.

Tuesday, 8 September, is the pick of the week. Morning sees 8.2ft swell from the WSW, a long 17-second period, and strong energy at 3657. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, giving you fresh offshore and clean lines. The afternoon is similar, with 8.2ft swell, 16-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze at 16 mph. This is excellent for experienced surfers – big, clean, and powerful. If you’re not an expert, it’s going to be a handful.

Wednesday, 9 September, keeps the run going. Morning has 7.2ft swell with a 16-second period, fresh offshore wind from the E at 19 mph, and energy at 2386. The afternoon drops to 6.9ft but the wind is lighter at 12 mph, still offshore. Both sessions are clean, and the afternoon is rated excellent for experienced surfers.

Thursday, 10 September, the swell starts to back off. Morning has 5.2ft, 15-second period, and moderate energy at 1166. The wind is a cross-off from the NE at 16 mph, clean but not as punchy. The afternoon is smaller at 4.6ft. It’s still surfable but nothing to write home about.

Friday, 11 September, things get messy. Morning has 4.9ft but the wind is cross-on from the NW at 12 mph, making it choppy. The afternoon is onshore, 3.9ft, and just not worth it.

Saturday, 12 September, is a write-off. Cross-on and onshore winds, 6.6ft and 5.9ft swell, but poor surf conditions. Give it a miss.

Sunday, 13 September, sees a kick in swell to 8.2ft, but the wind is cross-on from the SW at 12 mph, so it’s choppy. The afternoon is a bit better with a cross-shore wind, but it’s still messy.

Monday, 14 September, morning has a light cross-shore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph, with a 7.9ft swell and 14-second period. It’s clean but marginal. The afternoon gets choppy again.

Tuesday, 15 September, has rain showers and a cross-on wind, 5.6ft swell – poor conditions. The afternoon is slightly better but still marginal.

Wednesday, 16 September, morning shows a 5.9ft swell with a 16-second period, cross-off wind from the NE at 12 mph, and clean conditions. Marginal but worth a paddle if you’re desperate.

Now, here’s where it gets wild. Thursday, 17 September, a huge swell arrives. 13.1ft in the morning, 14.8ft in the afternoon, with strong to very strong energy (6579 to 7879). The wind is strong cross-on and onshore, so it’s messy and dangerous. This is for experts only, and even then, it’s risky.

Friday, 18 September, is even bigger. The morning has 14.8ft from the WSW with a 16-second period, and the energy is extreme at
