Trigg Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Trigg Point over the next couple weeks.

Right off the bat, the water’s a bit nippier than usual for this time of year, sittin’ at 64°, which is about 3° colder than normal – you’ll want a decent steamer.

This week starts off pretty tidy. Tuesday morning the 21st is a solid opener, with a clean 5ft SW groundswell and a light easterly offshore breeze. The energy’s moderate at 624, and the 11-second period will give you some nice, shapely lines. That’s the best of the early window, with clean waves and not too many heads in the water, though it can get crowded here at times.

Wednesday the 22nd stays real good with the same 4ft to 5ft WSW swell, and that offshore wind hangs on all day, keeping things glassy. The energy picks up to 877 by the arvo. Thursday the 23rd is more of the same goodness – clean, offshore, and fun-sized at 4ft to 4ft. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th drop off a bit in size and quality, but you’ll still find a few rideable ones, especially Friday afternoon with that clean 3ft push.

Sunday the 26th through to Tuesday the 29th morning are a write-off. The wind goes onshore or cross-shore, and the swell gets messy. There’s about a three-day lull of really poor conditions, so don’t bother paddling out unless you’re after a beatdown.

Late Tuesday the 29th arvo shows a glimmer of a long-period (17-18 sec) swell, but the wind turns bad. Thursday the 30th arvo *might* offer a clean little 2ft wave, but it’s weak stuff.

Now, here’s the real standout. Mark your calendars for Friday the 31st of July. The morning is a beauty – a fresh 6ft W swell with a clean offshore ESE wind. The energy is pumping at 2320, and that’s expert territory. The afternoon pushes up to 8ft with a 16-second period, but it’s a bit more mixed. Saturday the 1st of August drops to a still-chunky 7ft to 7ft, but the wind gets tricky.

The absolute pick of the whole run looks to be Sunday the 2nd of August morning. You’ve got a solid 7ft WSW groundswell, a long 16-second period, and a light offshore wind. The energy is whopping at 2243. This is prime for experienced surfers, with a clean face. Just be aware, with that long period, it might wall up a bit on the point, but it’ll be a ripper. Monday the 3rd holds size too, with a 10ft morning pulse – that’s only for the brave, but the winds are decent.

It tapers off after that, with some lumpy days late in the window, but Wednesday the 5th of August morning offers another clean, solid 8ft option if you’re still hungry.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
