Troia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch has all the surf appeal of a flat tire. We are looking at a tough 16-day block with barely a ripple on the menu. The first real sniff of a wave doesn’t even show up until Monday the 24th, but it’s messy and blown out, so we’re essentially looking at a dead run from now until the middle of the second week. There will be a big gap of several days straight with absolutely zero surfable recommendations, so don't hold your breath.

Monday the 24th kicks things off with a pulse of stormy, onshore energy at Troia. The swell comes in at 8 ft from the WSW but with a short, gutless period of 8 seconds. The wind is howling from the SW at 19 mph, direct on, and the water feels a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That combined energy reading of (807) tells you there’s power in the water, but it’s all wind-driven chaos. This is ugly, sloppy surf – more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. Conditions stay poor into the afternoon.

After Monday, we drop off a cliff. The rest of the week and all of the following week show nothing but tiny, weak swell – we’re talking 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft high period leftovers from the SSW. That period stretches out past 15 seconds, which is very long, but with no height it’s just a slow, clean ocean with no push. Winds are offshore or clean from the north, so the water looks pretty, but there’s no wave to ride.

There is a brief, tiny pulse on Sunday the 6th of September with a 1 ft groundswell from the W. The combined energy climbs to a measly (53) in the morning. It’s clean and cross-off, but you’d need a fin to stand on it. Nothing here is worth a second look.

Honestly, this is a write-off. For an area with inconsistent surf, a blank run like this isn't totally abnormal, but it stings. Keep the boards in the car, but don’t hold your breath. Forecasts change, but this one’s looking bleak.

Rusty.
