Troia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s lined up for our local stretch.

To be straight with you, we’ve got a lean run ahead. The next couple of weeks are dominated by tiny, weak swells and onshore wind, leaving us with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for. The only break on the cards is Troia, but it’s an inconsistent beginner spot and the ocean’s just not cooperating.

We start Monday, August 17th, with a tiny 0.3ft SW swell, a period of 15 seconds, and a combined energy of just 13. That long period won’t help at a beach break like Troia – it’ll just make it stray and weak. Wind’s light cross from the SE in the morning, but swings onshore SW by afternoon, and it’s game over. Water temp is 75° which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6° above average, so that’s unusual.

Tuesday and Wednesday, August 18th and 19th, are more of the same – 0.3ft to 0.7ft from the SSW with onshore wind. Honestly, you’d be better off taking a nap than wrestling that.

Thursday, August 20th, gets a laughable 0.7ft with a period of just 4 seconds in the morning – energy at 1 – it’s basically a bathtub. The afternoon picks up a 13 second period but still only 0.7ft. Not worth your wetsuit.

Friday the 21st sees a bit of a clean-up with a NNW cross-offshore breeze at 12 mph in the morning, but that 0.7ft SSW swell is still not enough to stand up on. Same story for Saturday and Sunday – tiny, weak, messy.

The following week stays flat. From Monday, August 24th right through to Tuesday, September 1st, we’re looking at very long gaps of several days with literally no surfable waves. On August 25th Tuesday afternoon we see a 4ft NW swell with a 4-second period and combined energy of 54 – that chop is more suited to a kite than a surfboard. Same for Wednesday the 26th – another 4ft NW, short period, cross-shore wind. It’s windy, weak, and messy.

The only other tiny pulse comes on September 1st Tuesday morning – 3ft NW, 6-second period, energy 47, with a cross-offshore N wind at 16 mph. The wind’s clean, but the swell has no power or shape for a beginner spot that’s already inconsistent.

There’s nothing here to get excited about, folks. Not a single standout session in the whole 16 days. For an area like this, a blank run happens sometimes. Don’t hold your breath – check back, forecasts can change.

Rusty.
