Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a long 16-day window ahead, but don’t get too excited just yet—we’re looking at a solid, powerful groundswell hitting Trigg, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride with some serious size.

Right off the bat, Tuesday the 11th kicks off with a big, meaty 12 ft swell from the WSW, packing a massive punch—combined energy is a whopping 5662 (strong to very strong). That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is a cross-shore from the south at 15 km/h, but honestly, this is more than most can handle. The water is a touch cooler than usual for this time of year, sitting at 64°F, about 2°F colder than average—so you’ll feel that chill.

Wednesday the 12th is a different story. The swell drops to a more manageable 7 ft, still from the SW, with a long 15-second period. The real treat is the wind: glassy in the morning, blowing NNE at just 5 km/h. That’s clean as a whistle. The energy is still moderate (1983), but for experienced surfers, this is a standout morning. The afternoon stays clean but the wind shifts cross-shore, so the morning is your window.

Thursday the 13th morning keeps the goods coming: 7 ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze from the ENE at 10 km/h. The energy is solid (2299), and the waves will have good shape. Again, this is for the experienced crew—anything over 7 ft is pushing it for beginners.

Friday the 14th morning is another clean one, with a cross-off NE breeze at 15 km/h, same 7 ft SW swell. The afternoon gets even better: glassy conditions with a light ESE breeze at 5 km/h, and the waves are still clean. Energy is around 2233. This is a solid day for anyone who knows what they’re doing.

Saturday the 15th sees the swell easing to 6 ft, but the wind picks up. Morning is clean with a cross-off NNE breeze at 20 km/h, but the afternoon turns cross-on and messy. Not the best.

Sunday the 16th shapes up nicely again. Morning has a cross-off NE breeze at 20 km/h, with 7 ft WSW swell, and the afternoon is pristine: light NE breeze at 10 km/h, cross-off, and 7 ft of clean, long-period swell. Energy is 2342. This is another top pick for the week.

Now, Monday the 17th is a write-off. Strong onshore wind from the WSW at 30 km/h, lumpy conditions, and 8 ft of blown-out swell. The surf quality is poor. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th see the swell building back to 8 ft and 12 ft, but with onshore and cross-onshore winds, it’s just big and messy. Not for paddle surfing—this looks more like a kite-surfing setup if you’re into that.

Thursday the 20th is still big at 10 ft, but the wind is cross-shore again. Might be worth a look for the brave, but the energy is massive (4769). Friday the 21st drops to 5 ft with a clean cross-off breeze in the morning, but the afternoon is back to big and blown. Saturday the 22nd is pure chaos: 15 ft swell from the WSW, massive energy over 7500. That’s expert-only, and even then, only if the wind plays nice (it won’t).

Sunday the 23rd is a complete write-off: strong winds over 40 km/h, messy, dangerous. Avoid.

The final glimmer comes on Monday the 24th morning: the swell finally drops to 5 ft, with a clean cross-off breeze from the SSE at 10 km/h. Energy is moderate (1414). For a surf after all that chaos, it’s a welcome, gentle option. The afternoon goes to a tiny 3 ft with a very long 20-second period, but it’s cross-on and choppy, so not great.

The best on offer: Wednesday the 12th morning, with glassy conditions and 7 ft of clean, long-period SW groundswell. And Friday the 14th afternoon, with light offshore winds and 7 ft of clean waves. These are the standouts for experienced surfers.

Rusty out.
