Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the West Oz coast.

Right, we're lookin' at a solid run of swell over the next couple of weeks, but it's not all gonna be clean. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, but we've got some real gems hidden in there.

Friday 24th July kicks things off with a clean 3ft SW swell at Trigg Beach, but it's a bit average. The real story is Saturday 25th July. The morning is a bit bumpy, but the afternoon cleans up with a 4ft swell from the WSW and a gentle breeze. It's not huge, but it's the first decent option.

Now, Monday 27th July is a different beast. We've got an 8ft WSW swell rollin' in, but it's pretty cross-shore. The water temperature is sittin' at 64°, which is about 3° cooler than usual for this time of year, so you'll be wanting a decent steamer.

Tuesday 28th July is where it's at. That's your standout. The morning session is pure magic. We've got a 6ft SW swell with a 14-second period and a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE. The combined energy is moderate (1222), but the conditions are set to be glassy. That's a clean, lined-up wave at Trigg, and the offshore wind will have it standin' up proper. The afternoon is just as good, with a 5ft SW swell and the same clean offshore wind. It's a full day of top-tier surf.

The swell drops a bit on Wednesday 29th July, but the afternoon session with a 5ft SW swell and a 17-second period is worth a look. That long period means the wave will have plenty of energy and shape, but it might be a bit tricky at the beach break. Keep an eye on the point.

We then move into a period of solid, but mostly messy, swell. Through the end of July and into the first week of August, the swell sits between 6ft and 8ft, but the wind is mostly cross-shore or onshore, making it a bit lumpy. The Saturday 1st August morning session has an 8ft SW swell, but it's a bit on the big side for a beginner.

Sunday 2nd August is a big one. The swell hits 10ft from the WSW with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is massive (5847). That's a lot of juice. But the wind is offshore in the morning, making it clean. This is only for experienced surfers; it's a powerful, heavy wave.

The absolute best of the best, the one you circle on the calendar, is Monday 3rd August. The morning is glassy. Dead flat calm, no wind, a 7ft WSW swell with a 16-second period. The combined energy is strong (2102). The comment says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and it's spot on. This is a true standout.

Tuesday 4th August morning is also glassy, with a smaller 5ft SW swell. That's a great session for the intermediate surfer wanting a bit more room.

The run continues with clean conditions on Wednesday 5th August morning, with a 5ft SW swell. Then Thursday 6th August morning is clean with a 4ft WSW swell.

The final standout is Friday 7th August morning. Glassy conditions again, with a 6ft WSW swell and a very long 18-second period. The energy is strong (2229). This will be a long-period groundswell, so it's best suited to Trigg's point. The waves will be clean, powerful, and have long waits between sets.

Saturday 8th August is a hard pass. The swell is 12ft to 13ft, which is way too big for this break. Even with clean winds, it's a washing machine.

So, for the best on offer, it's a dead heat between Tuesday 28th July and Monday 3rd August. Tuesday is a smaller, more manageable size with perfect offshore winds, while Monday is a bigger, more powerful swell that's glassy. Pick your poison.

Rusty.
