Troia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this stretch isn’t going to have you rushing for the board bag anytime soon. Over the next 16 days, the surf at Troia is looking pretty flat and uninspiring. We’ve got a long gap of tiny, weak, and messy conditions with almost no real rideable swell on the table. You’ll be waiting a while for anything that even gets your heart rate up.

Starting Tuesday, September 8th, there’s pretty much nothing doing. Tuesday morning brings a small 2ft northwest swell with a short 6-second period and weak energy (30), but the cross-offshore wind keeps it clean. Still, it’s labelled as poor surf conditions – barely enough to push a log around. That afternoon, the swell disappears entirely.

Wednesday September 9th is more of the same: a tiny 2ft NW swell with a 4-second period in the morning (energy a measly 9) and a slightly bigger 4ft NW swell in the afternoon, but the period is still short at 5 seconds and the cross-shore wind chops it up. Not worth paddling out.

From Thursday September 10th through to Monday September 14th, the swell drops to practically nothing – mostly 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves from the west or south with periods all over the place. Energy readings barely hit two digits. There’s a glassy morning on Sunday September 13th, but with zero swell it’s just a flat, pretty lake. Not a single day in this stretch offers anything close to a rideable wave.

Tuesday September 15th is another glassy morning with zero swell. The afternoon sees a pathetic 1ft WNW windswell with a 2-second period – that’s barely a ripple.

We finally see a tiny uptick Wednesday September 16th morning, with a 2ft WNW swell (4-second period, energy 16) under clean cross-offshore wind. But it’s still poor surf and not worth getting excited about.

Thursday September 17th through Monday September 21st stays flat or near-flat, with tiny 0.3ft swells and weak energy (single digits to low teens). A few clean mornings pop up, like the glassy start on Thursday and a light offshore Sunday morning, but with no swell, it’s a skip.

The best – and I mean the *best* of a bad bunch – comes on Tuesday September 22nd. We get a 1ft swell from the southwest in the morning (7-second period, energy 21) and a 2ft SW swell in the afternoon (5-second period, energy 23). Both are under clean cross-offshore wind. Even then, it’s still labelled poor surf. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and it’s just not going to produce anything worth driving for.

Wednesday September 23rd morning has a 0.3ft SW swell with a 12-second period (energy 9) and a moderate offshore wind, but again, it’s tiny and labelled poor.

Honestly, there is no standout session in this 16-day window. The conditions are a near-constant mix of flatness and weak, short-period junk. Keep the board in the rack, mate. There might be a small window around September 22nd if you’re desperate for a splash, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose all hope – but right now, it’s a quiet spell for Troia.

Rusty.
