Trigg Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a mixed bag coming up at Trigg Beach over the next couple of weeks, so let’s get into it.

The first real standout window kicks off on Monday, September 8th, and holds through Wednesday the 10th. That’s where the goods are. Trigg is a beach and point setup, fairly exposed to the WSW swell, and the water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch below average for this time of year – nothing too dramatic, just a little cool.

Let’s start with Monday morning, September 8th. We’ve got clean conditions with offshore wind from the ESE at 13 mph, swell around 8 ft from the WSW, and a long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, with a combined moderate to strong energy of 3870. The point should really shine here, with those long lines wrapping in. It’s big enough that beginners might struggle, but for intermediates and up, it’s a beauty. Monday afternoon stays clean with lighter ESE winds at 10 mph, same 8 ft swell, and still that lovely 16-second period – a solid day all round.

Tuesday September 9th is the best on offer. Morning has offshore wind from the E at 13 mph, swell at 8 ft, WSW direction, 15-second period, and combined energy of 3728. Afternoon even better: clean glassy conditions, ESE wind at 10 mph, swell bumping to 10 ft, 16-second period, and strong energy of 4071. That’s expert territory, so if you’ve got the skills, this is the session to chase. Crowds are *often* here, so expect company.

Wednesday September 10th holds the quality. Morning has ENE offshore wind at 13 mph, 8 ft swell, 16-second period, and 2786 energy. Afternoon is lighter with 10 mph offshore, 7 ft swell, still clean – a great way to end the run.

Thursday September 11th starts to fade a bit. Morning has light NE cross-off wind at 6 mph, 6 ft swell, and 15-second period, but the energy drops to 1389. Still clean, but fading. Afternoon goes messy.

There’s a big gap after that. Friday and Saturday are mostly poor to marginal, and Sunday September 14th is the next call. Monday September 15th morning is glassy with zero wind, swell at 7 ft, WSW, 14-second period, and moderate energy of 1874. That’s a clean, fun session for experienced surfers, just smaller than the earlier peak.

After that, we’re into smaller, weaker swell for the rest of the window – not much to get excited about.

So overall, the pick is Tuesday September 9th afternoon at Trigg: 10 ft WSW groundswell, 16-second period, gentle offshore wind, clean conditions – that’s as good as it gets around here.
