Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tronoen over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Tronoen.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a long dry spell from now through to late July. Saturday morning, July 11th, gives us a tiny little 3ft WNW swell with a light cross-off breeze, and the energy is weak (135). It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. After that, it’s a dead zone. Day after day of tiny, weak, onshore junk. Monday morning the 13th will be glassy, but the swell is only 2ft and the period is a short 6 seconds – just not enough to bother with. This flat spell drags on for nearly a week and a half.
Then, things start to wake up. Sunday morning, July 19th, we finally see some push: a 4ft NW swell with a clean cross-off wind. The energy jumps to moderate (150). But the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and messy. The swell builds through that Sunday and Monday, with similar conditions – 5ft to 5ft NW swells and fresh cross-off winds keeping things clean on the surface. The energy is solidly moderate (290 on Monday morning). It’s not perfect, but it’s way better than the flat spell we just sat through.
Now, here’s the standout. The real gem is Friday morning, July 24th. We’ve got a solid 8ft W swell with an offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph. The energy is strong (720), and the period is a reasonable 8 seconds. The wind and tide are favorable. This is the best on offer – proper size, clean conditions. It’s a bit on the bigger side, so it’s one for the experienced crew.
The tail end of the forecast gets big but tricky. Saturday, July 25th, has a 8ft to 8ft WNW groundswell with a very long 11-12 second period. The energy is very strong (1818 on Saturday morning). But the wind is onshore on Saturday morning and cross-shore in the afternoon, which will mess it up. That long period at a beach break like Tronoen can cause it to close out or break too straight, so don’t expect the best shape. Sunday the 26th is just onshore chop.
So, to sum it up: there’s nothing worth paddling out for until the 19th. The pick of the run is Friday morning, July 24th. Get on it.

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.
