Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Trigg Beach. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, with plenty of action, but you’ve gotta pick your moments. The first proper surf rolls in on Monday, 27 July, and from there it’s a bit of a rollercoaster.

The early week is where the real quality sits. Monday morning is a standout, with a clean 8ft swell pumping in from the WSW, period at 13 seconds, and that SSE cross-off breeze making things tidy. The combined energy is a hefty 1885, so there’s plenty of grunt. This is excellent for experienced surfers, no doubt about it. Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent suit.

Tuesday morning, 28 July, is another cracker. We’ve got a 6ft SW swell, 14-second period, and a clean 15 km/h offshore from the east. The energy is strong at 1352, and it’s glassy clean. That’s a fantastic session for anyone who knows their way around a point break.

By Wednesday, 29 July, the swell drops back to 4ft in the morning, but don’t write it off. The period jumps to a very long 17 seconds, and with NE winds, it stays clean. The afternoon picks up to 5ft, and the energy is back up to 1678. That long-period groundswell will be lining up nicely at Trigg Point, but at the beach it might break a bit straight, so keep that in mind.

Thursday, 30 July, fades a bit, with the swell under 5ft and less energy through the day. Friday, 31 July, gets a bit messy: morning sees a 6ft WSW swell but with cross-shore winds, and by the afternoon the onshore wind picks up and it turns into a 8ft lumpy mess. Not your day.

Now, Saturday, 1 August, sees the swell jump to a chunky 10ft from the SW, but the morning is clean with a cross-off wind. That’s going to be big, solid, and only for the experienced crew. The energy is massive at 3903. The afternoon gets crossed up and bumpy, so get it early.

Sunday, 2 August, brings a 8ft WSW swell with a clean offshore wind in the afternoon, making for a tidy session. Monday, 3 August, is smaller and a bit mixed with rain around, but still rideable.

The absolute standout in the whole forecast? Look at Tuesday, 4 August. The morning is glassy, zero wind, and a 7ft WSW swell with a massive 19-second period. The combined energy is 3019, and it’s an excellent call for experienced surfers. That’s as clean as it gets. The afternoon holds size but turns a little cross-on.

Wednesday, 5 August, is a write-off. Strong onshore winds, lumpy, choppy. Save your energy.

Thursday, 6 August, brings us another gem: morning is glassy with a 8ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and 3294 energy. Perfect for the crew that can handle it. The afternoon goes onshore, so dawn patrol is the move.

Friday, 7 August, and Saturday, 8 August, are both blown out with strong winds and messy surf. Just skip those days.

Sunday, 9 August, cleans up nicely with a 8ft WSW swell and light cross-off winds. A solid day for experienced surfers.

Monday, 10 August, drops back to 5ft, clean and easy, a good day for a paddle.

Now, Tuesday, 11 August – this one is huge. The morning shows a 13ft WSW swell, 18-second period, and energy at 9681. That’s massive. The wind is light and cross-off, but let’s be real: that size is only for the absolute experts, and even then, Trigg can get overwhelmed. It’s a spectacle more than a session for most.

Best on offer overall? Tuesday, 4 August morning with that glassy 7ft, 19-second groundswell is pure magic. And Thursday, 6 August morning with 8ft and glassy conditions is a close second. The big stuff on 11 August is for the brave, but the quality is in those early windows.

Stay safe out there.

Rusty.
