Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty.

We are looking at Trigg Beach for the next couple of weeks, and let me tell you, we have a bit of a rough start followed by some absolute gems. It's a beach and point setup, exposed fairly well to the west-southwest swell, and the water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

First off, the good news: we don't have a flat spell. There is swell on the way, but the first few days are a write-off. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are total no-go's thanks to fresh cross-onshore winds making a mess of that solid 10ft south-west swell. The wave energy is through the roof, but it's just lumpy, choppy rubbish. Not worth getting wet for.

Sunday the 6th is where the switch flips. The wind swings to the southeast, clean cross-offshore, and that 13ft swell from the southwest kicks in. Now, that’s a big number. It’s a groundswell with a 13-second period, but at 13ft, this is strictly for the experts. Beginners, stay on the sand. It’s clean, but it’s a beast.

Monday the 7th settles a bit. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the west-southwest with a long 16-second period. The winds are clean and cross-offshore. The quality is marginal, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Now, the real standout. Tuesday the 8th is your pick of the first week. We’re looking at an 8ft west-southwest swell with a very long 18-second period. That’s the kind of groundswell that will wrap beautifully into the point. The wind is offshore from the east-southeast all day. Clean, lined-up waves for experienced surfers. This is the one.

Wednesday the 9th still holds with a slightly smaller 8ft swell and offshore winds.

The second week gets a bit messy. There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 12th to the 14th with onshore gales that will ruin the 7ft to 8ft swell. Don’t bother. Things clean up again on the 15th with another solid 8ft swell and offshore breeze, but the magic really happens on the 16th. Wednesday the 16th of September is the long-range standout. We get a solid 8ft south-west swell with a 16-second period, offshore east-northeast winds. This is worth circling on your calendar, even if it’s a bit of a wait.

Later on, the 19th of September looks promising too, with another big 8ft west-southwest swell and a very long 18-second period. With light offshore winds, this could be a cracker for experienced surfers.

Crowds at Trigg are often around, so expect company on those good days.

Rusty.
