Trigg Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Trigg Point. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got some serious size on the cards, but the wind is going to be our main enemy for a good chunk of it. We’ll need to be patient and pick our moments.

The opening weekend is pretty much a write-off. Saturday the 8th has a big 15ft swell but it’s blowing a strong cross-onshore breeze with light rain, making it a complete mess. The energy is massive, reading 9989, but it’s all for nothing if you can’t paddle out. Sunday the 9th drops a bit to 10ft but it’s still cross-onshore and lumpy, so not worth getting too excited about. Monday the 10th looks even worse with a near gale force wind. We’re looking at a few days of blown-out, poor conditions to start.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Tuesday the 11th is the standout. The swell is still a solid 12ft from the WSW, but the wind goes glassy in the morning. That’s a window of clean, powerful surf that’s going to be well overhead and pushing hard. This is one for the experienced crew, for sure. The energy is pumping at 5693, and with that long 16-second period it’s going to have some serious grunt. It’ll be a proper session if you’re confident in the big stuff. The afternoon stays clean-ish with a light cross-on breeze, but the morning is the pick.

After that, the swell eases through the middle of the week, but the conditions stay pretty good. Wednesday the 12th has 7ft waves with a glassy afternoon, and Thursday and Friday the 13th and 14th see it dropping to around 6-6ft with clean, cross-offshore winds in the mornings. These are much more manageable for a wider range of surfers, and the long-period swell will still be offering up some nice, well-shaped lines. It won’t have the raw power of Tuesday, but it’ll be clean and fun.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th drops a little more to around 6-7ft. Saturday morning is clean, but the swell is easing. Sunday morning has a bit more size but a fresh cross-off breeze keeps it clean. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s still surfable.

Then we hit another rough patch. From Monday the 17th through to the end of the window, the wind swings back onshore and the size jumps back up. We’re looking at 10ft to 15ft of lumpy, choppy, cross-onshore slop for days on end. There’s plenty of energy in the water, but it’s going to be a battle. Around the 19th and 20th there’s some big swell, but the conditions are going to be pretty woeful. Unless you’re after a bit of a beating, it’s not looking too appealing. The wind looks like it might ease slightly on the morning of the 19th, but the swell is then pushing 13ft, which is serious, expert-only territory.

So, in short: if you can get out on Tuesday the 11th, that’s the one. The earlier part of the week after that offers some clean, smaller waves too. But the back half of the forecast is a story of onshore winds and big, messy swell. Keep an eye on that Tuesday, it’s the clear winner.

Rusty.
