Trigg Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right off the bat, Trigg Point is looking like the spot to be, but you gotta pick your windows. The water's sitting at 63°, which is a good 3° colder than normal for this time of year, so you'll want the full rubber. It's a bit of a shock to the system, but it's clean and the swell is pumping.

The first real call is Wednesday morning, the 5th. We've got a solid 8ft of WSW groundswell rolling in with a 16-second period, and the energy is strong (2895). The wind is a light northerly cross-off, which should keep it clean. This is proper point surf, but at this size it's for the experienced crew. The afternoon sees it jump to 10ft and the wind goes onshore, so it'll get messy. Not the one.

Thursday and Friday are a write-off. The wind is on it, either onshore or cross-onshore, and the quality drops right off. The swell is still there, but it's not going to be fun. Then Saturday the 8th really turns it on. We're looking at a massive 15ft of WSW swell with a massive energy reading (10063), but it's blowing a near gale onshore. That is a full-on blown-out mess. The setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Leave the board at home.

Sunday morning the 9th is a bit of a tease. The swell is still 10ft with a long 17-second period, and the wind is light cross-shore. It's worth a look if you're desperate, but the energy is still massive (5876) and it could be a handful. The afternoon goes onshore again.

Monday the 10th is a no-go with strong winds. But here’s the first real standout. Tuesday morning, the 11th. The swell eases to 10ft, but the period is still a solid 15 seconds, and we get a light SSE cross-off breeze. It’s clean, it’s powerful, and it’s breaking properly down the point. This is the pick of the first week.

Wednesday the 12th is also good. It's a bit smaller at 7ft, but the wind is a slight ESE cross-off, and the period is a long 16 seconds. Clean and fun. Then Thursday the 13th is another cracker. The swell is 7ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds, which is very long. That kind of groundswell loves a point break like this, and with a light easterly offshore, it’s going to be glassy. This is a top-notch morning.

Friday the 14th drops off to 5ft, but the afternoon shows some promise with a light cross-off breeze. It's smaller, but it’s clean. Saturday the 15th picks back up a little to 7ft, but the wind is a bit more cross-off than offshore. It’s okay, but not a standout.

Sunday the 16th has a bit of a cross-on wind, so it’s not ideal. Then Monday the 17th is another big one, but it’s onshore and lumpy. 13ft of swell and blown out. Forget it.

Now, looking further out, the second week has a couple of promising mornings. Tuesday the 18th looks like the best of the long-range. We get 10ft of WSW swell with a 17-second period and a light northerly cross-off breeze. Clean and powerful. It’s a promising call, but it’s a week away, so treat it with some caution.

Wednesday the 19th is a complete write-off with a strong breeze and rain. Thursday the 20th has another clean morning with 10ft on tap and a light offshore, but it’s a long way out. There’s a lot of water moving around, but you just have to be patient and pick the mornings when the wind plays ball.

So, the standout windows are Tuesday the 11th and Thursday the 13th in the first week, and Tuesday the 18th looks like a good bet for the second week.
