The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Triggs Beach over the next few weeks.
Bloody hell, it's a lean stretch ahead. The entire 16-day window is a real struggle. There isn't a single session that's worth paddling out for. We're looking at a solid blank run from start to finish, which is pretty normal for this sheltered spot when the swell just doesn't line up.
The first few days, from Friday the 31st of July right through the weekend, are a write-off. The energy is just not there, and even when we get a little bit of height on the 2nd of August with a 4ft swell from the NNW, the wind is a fresh cross-shore or cross-on, tearing it to bits. You'll be battling a lumpy cross-chop for nothing.
The pattern doesn't really improve. Swell heights bob around between 2ft and 5ft, but the wind is almost always a problem. We get a tiny window of glassy conditions on the 6th of August afternoon, but with only 3ft of swell and weak energy (32), it's not going to stand up. The 9th of August sees the biggest swell at 5ft from the NW, but that's accompanied by a strong breeze and rain, making it a messy, lumpy mess. That combined energy of 115 (moderate) doesn't mean a thing with that wind.
Later in the week, the 11th of August has a 4ft swell from the WSW, but again, it's cross-on and choppy. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Honestly, for Triggs Beach, this is a barren run. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on days like the 9th, with that strong cross-onshore wind and 5ft swell. Otherwise, it's a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, save your energy.
Rusty.
