Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Trigg Beach (Trigg-Beach-and-Point). It’s a beach and point setup, intermediate-level, and picks up swell from the WSW. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Alright, the first proper surf window we’ve got lands on Monday 3 August. The morning’s the real deal – clean, clear skies, with a cross-off breeze from the north at 9 mph. Swell is 5 ft from the WSW, period 14 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (766). That’s a solid groundswell, and the conditions are clean, so expect very good surf. This is probably the best on offer in the whole run – a standout. Afternoon goes downhill with a cross-on NW wind, so don’t expect much then.

Tuesday 4 August is a no-go. Swell jumps to 7 ft in the morning with onshore WSW wind, and the energy is strong (3022), but the wind and tide just aren’t working. Afternoon gets worse, 8 ft but cross-on and choppy. Skip it.

Wednesday 5 August morning is a beauty. The swell is 8 ft from the WSW, period 16 seconds, combined energy strong (3319), with a light NNE cross-off breeze at 6 mph. That’s clean and excellent for experienced surfers. This is another standout window. The afternoon though, the wind swings cross-on and the 10 ft swell gets messy.

Thursday 6 August starts with a 10 ft swell and a light cross-on, but it’s marginal. Afternoon turns onshore, poor. Not worth it.

Friday 7 August is a write-off – strong SW and WSW winds, rain, and 10 ft swell. Poor conditions.

Saturday 8 August is solid but big. The morning has a 12 ft WSW swell, period 15 seconds, with a clean SSE cross-off breeze. The energy is very strong (5335), but the swell is too big for this break – only for experts. If you’re a seasoned local and can handle heavy waves, morning’s your window. Afternoon stays big with cross-shore wind.

Sunday 9 August morning is a cracker. 10 ft swell, 16-second period, ENE cross-off at 6 mph, clean. Combined energy is strong (4166). That’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout morning. Afternoon, the wind goes cross-on and it fades.

Monday 10 August morning has a 7 ft swell with light cross-shore wind, but it’s marginal. The afternoon is the real gem – glassy, with a WNW wind at 3 mph, 8 ft swell, 13-second period, and the energy is strong (2535). That’s excellent for experienced surfers. Another standout.

Tuesday 11 August is too big. 13 ft swell, strong offshore in the morning, but the swell is well beyond what this break can handle. Only for the madmen.

Wednesday 12 August morning has a 10 ft SW swell with a fresh SE breeze, but it’s marginal. The afternoon is better – 8 ft WSW swell, clean offshore wind at 12 mph, and excellent for experienced surfers. Strong energy (2924). A good option.

Thursday 13 August is marginal. 7 ft to 7 ft swell, clean offshore, but nothing special.

Friday 14 August is massive. 16 ft swell, 19-second period, clean cross-off, but the energy is extreme (18347). Too big for this break. Only for the truly fearless.

Saturday 15 August morning has a 12 ft swell with gentle offshore, but it’s too big. Afternoon, 10 ft with cross-shore wind, marginal.

Sunday 16 August morning is a nice one. 7 ft swell, 14-second period, light offshore from the east at 3 mph, clean. Combined energy moderate (1748). Excellent for experienced surfers. A solid end to the week. Afternoon gets cross-shore and messy.

Monday 17 August is a good finish. Morning has a 7 ft swell, clean cross-off, excellent. Afternoon, 7 ft swell with a light offshore, clean, and excellent. Both are good for experienced surfers.

Tuesday 18 August morning is back to big – 12 ft swell, 17-second period, cross-off, but the energy is very strong (6711) and it’s too big for this break.

So overall, the standout windows are Monday 3 August morning, Wednesday 5 August morning, Sunday 9 August morning, Monday 10 August afternoon, and Sunday 16 August morning. The first week has the best, most reliable conditions. The second week is more hit-and-miss, with plenty of days where the swell is just too big. Keep an eye on that Monday 10 August afternoon – glassy conditions are rare and that one’s a treat.

Stay safe, and I’ll see you out there.
