Trigg Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.

Trigg Point is the only spot on the radar, so we’ll be living and dying by this break for the next couple of weeks. The forecast kicks off with a bit of a wait. Wednesday the 26th is a write-off thanks to strong, lumpy onshore winds and a big, messy 10 ft swell. Not worth paddling out. Thursday the 27th is much the same – that size and strong wind rule it out.

Friday the 28th is a big step down in swell, but the quality’s still poor, so nothing doing. It’s not until Saturday the 29th we start seeing some hope. The morning has 3 ft WSW swell with offshore winds, but the real gem is Saturday afternoon. A clean, 5 ft WSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period and moderate offshore wind. The water temp is about average for this time of year at 64°. This is the first standout – glassy conditions and clean lines. It’s not huge, but it’s a beauty for those who know the wave.

Sunday the 30th continues the run. The morning is clean with 7 ft WSW swell and a 15-second period, but the afternoon on Sunday is where it’s at. Glassy conditions, 7 ft swell, and a 17-second period – this is the standout session for the first week. Clean, lined up, and with light airs, you’d be mad to miss it. Keep in mind, crowds are possible here.

Monday the 31st goes downhill with onshore wind, and Tuesday the 1st of September is average at best. Wednesday the 2nd is a write-off. But then, Thursday the 3rd of September brings another moment of magic. First up, the morning: a glassy, 7 ft WSW groundswell with a 14-second period. This is for the experienced crew at that size, but the glassy conditions make it a standout for the experts.

Friday the 4th also has a glassy morning with 7 ft swell, so another good one for the early session. After that, the swell drops and the winds turn sloppy through the weekend.

Looking further out, there’s a big pulse coming. Monday the 7th of September shows a massive 15-16 ft WSW groundswell with a 19-second period. That’s serious, heavy energy and it’s cross-shore, so it’s a tricky, expert-only affair. Point breaks and reefs will handle the length better than the beach. Then Tuesday the 8th has a 12 ft clean swell with offshore winds – again, only for the pros. That second week is promising but less certain, so keep an eye on the charts.

For the absolute pick of the 16 days? Sunday the 30th afternoon: glassy, 7 ft, long-period groundswell – clean, consistent, and for all abilities. That’s the one to circle. The Thursday 3rd morning glassy session is a close second for the experienced.
