The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on Tronoen. Gotta be honest, the next two weeks are a real bummer for surf. It’s gonna be a long, flat, windy stretch before anything decent shows up.
The first few days, from Thursday the 23rd through the weekend, are tiny. We’re talking ankle-high dribble from the west, with periods so short it’s basically wind chop. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 68° for the time of year. The wave energy is super weak, barely registering. Not worth the paddle.
Come Monday the 27th morning, there’s a glimmer. A clean 5ft swell from the WNW, with a 9-second period, and a light offshore N breeze. The energy is building into the moderate range (450). But Monday afternoon the wind swings back onshore and ruins it. Tuesday the 28th morning cleans up again with a smaller 3ft swell (180 energy), but it’s back to onshore chop by afternoon.
Then we hit a real gap. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through the end of the first week of August, it’s a struggle. The swell stays small, under 4ft, and the wind is persistent. Every day features a strong cross-onshore or onshore flow that just destroys any potential. The wave energy is weak to moderate at best. This is a kite surfer’s forecast, not a paddle surfer’s.
The real standout, and the only one worth highlighting, comes on the morning of Monday, August 3rd. The swell is a modest 3ft from the west, with an 8-second period, but the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. The water is clean, and the energy is moderate (100). It’s not a big day, but for Tronoen, that glassy morning window is a rare gift. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might have a few buddies out, but it’ll be a friendly session. This is your best bet in the whole 16-day window. After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy dribble.
So, the word is: get ready for a lot of flat, windy days. The one true window is the morning of August 3rd. Mark it, and if you can, be there.
Rusty.

Information about the Tronoen Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tronoen provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tronoen can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tronoen surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tronoen) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tronoen may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
