Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Trigg Beach. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are some solid windows for the experienced crew. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch colder than we’d usually expect for this time of year—about 2°F below average, so you’ll want a decent spring suit.

The real action kicks off this Thursday morning, the 20th of August. That’s your standout. We’ve got a 10ft west-southwest groundswell rolling in with a long 16-second period, and the wind is glassy—absolute perfection. The combined energy is strong at 4242, so there’s plenty of power. This is for experienced surfers only, as it’s a solid 10ft, and with that long period, it’ll be lining up best on the point. Crowds are often a thing here, but on a Thursday morning like this, you might get lucky.

The next morning, Friday the 21st, is also worth a paddle. Clean offshore easterly wind at 6 mph, with a 8ft west-southwest swell at 15 seconds. Energy is still strong at 2513, and it’s another one for the confident surfer.

Saturday morning the 22nd offers a smaller option at 7ft, but with a very long 17-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy is still solid at 2492, and it’ll be clean. Again, too big for beginners.

After that, there’s a bit of a lull. Sunday the 23rd through Tuesday the 25th see some messy, windy conditions and dropping swell. Tuesday the 25th is a write-off, with onshore gusts up to 25 mph and rain—best to stay home.

Thursday the 27th of August brings a return to form. Morning session has a nice cross-offshore breeze for a 7ft west-southwest swell, and by the afternoon it turns glassy with a 6ft south-west swell. That afternoon session is a real gem for the experienced surfer—clean, glassy, and manageable.

Looking further ahead, Friday the 28th of August is a good one for the intermediate crowd. Clean offshore easterly wind at 12 mph, dropping to 6 mph in the afternoon, with a smaller 4ft swell. Combined energy is moderate at 594–735, so it’s not punchy, but it’s clean and fun.

The first week of September has some promise, but it’s a long way out. Tuesday the 1st of September shows a 8ft west-southwest swell with a very long 17-second period, but the wind is a bit messy. Still, the energy is very strong at 3995, so keep an eye on it.

The biggest gap in decent surf is from around the 23rd to the 25th of August, then again from the 30th to the 31st, where conditions are marginal or poor. But with Trigg being fairly consistent, it rarely stays flat for long.

The only real standout to point your board at is Thursday morning the 20th of August—glassy, big, powerful, and clean. That’s the one.

Rusty.
