The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming our way for Tronoen. It's going to be a pretty quiet start with a long wait before anything worth getting excited about shows up.
Right now, through the very end of August and into the first few days of September, there’s practically nothing happening. We’re looking at a solid gap of about 12 days with no real surf on offer. There are a few tiny, weak pulses through that period, but they’re all accompanied by onshore winds or lumpy conditions, and the combined energy barely gets into three digits a few times. For a spot like Tronoen that is fairly consistent, this is a frustrating stretch. The water temp is sitting around about 64°F, which is normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Friday the 4th of September. The wind turns offshore and light from the NE, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the WNW with a moderate period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 432, and conditions are clean. This is the standout. That Friday morning session should deliver decent waves with light wind, making for some clean shoulders. It's an intermediate-level break, so this size is fine for most.
Friday afternoon sees a bigger pulse of swell, jumping to 5ft from the WNW with a longer period of 13 seconds. That’s a good groundswell, and combined energy hits a very strong 1014. But the wind turns cross-on from the west, bringing a light ripple. It’s still surfable, though the tide might be a factor. For experienced surfers, this afternoon could offer some proper power, especially if you can pick your banks.
Saturday the 5th of September drops off quickly. The morning has 5ft WNW swell at 12 seconds but a moderate cross-shore wind from the SSE messes up the shape. The afternoon is worse with stronger onshores from the south, making it choppy. Not worth paddling out.
After Sunday the 6th of September, the outlook gets poor again with more onshore wind and dropping energy. So really, that one window—Friday the 4th, especially the morning—is your only real chance. Everything else is best left for the kites.
Stay patient. It tends not to stay this flat forever.

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.
