Hey, it's Rusty. Looking at Triggs Beach Adelaide, and I've got to be honest – the next 16 days don’t have much to get excited about. There’s a lot of flat and poor conditions, so don’t plan a trip around it.
Tuesday the 7th kicks things off with nothing. Wednesday the 8th brings a super long period groundswell from the south, but it’s only 0.3ft – that’s hardly a bump. The wind is light and offshore, so if there were waves they’d be clean, but there just aren’t any. Thursday and Friday stay small, with the wind shifting around and keeping things messy.
The weekend shows a little pulse. Saturday the 11th sees some west windswell up to 4ft, with a short period. The combined energy is still weak to moderate (80 in the morning, 120 in the afternoon), but the wind is onshore at 15-18 mph, so it’s going to be choppy and blown out. Sunday the 12th is similar – onshore wind, rain, and poor surf. That swell drops off fast into the new week, with the wind staying onshore or cross-onshore all the way through.
The second week is quiet again, with a few tiny bumps. Friday the 17th has a NNW windswell around 4ft, but with cross-shore wind and weak energy, it’s not worth paddling out. The rest of the time is flat or tiny with fresh onshore winds.
Because Triggs Beach is an inconsistent, sheltered reef, this kind of stretch is pretty normal. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
If you had to pick a moment, Friday the 17th is the only one that might have something rideable, but even then, the wind and short period make it a poor bet. Honestly, it’s a long stretch of nothing much. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
