The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a squiz at what’s cookin’ for Tronoen over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. For the first few days, we’re looking at a real quiet ocean. The swell is tiny and the wind is messy, so you can leave the board in the car for a bit. There’s a bit of a gap here with not much to recommend until we get into the back half of the first week.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Sunday morning, the 9th of August. The swell is only 2ft from the NW, but the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions. The wave energy is weak (88), but when it’s that clean, it’s worth a paddle for a few slow, fun ones. That window is short-lived, though, as the afternoon gets blown out.
The next little highlight is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. The wind is light offshore from the east, the swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW, period is 8 seconds. It’s small and clean, and the energy is really low (66), but for a sneaky morning session on a small board, it’s about as good as it gets in this quiet spell.
Now, the real standout, the one that catches the eye, is Monday afternoon, the 17th of August. The swell jumps to 8ft from the west with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a solid groundswell, and the combined energy is a strong 1043. This is proper size. However, it’s onshore from the WSW, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and probably only for the experienced crew. For a big, powerful wave, this is the best on offer for the whole 16 days, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed the wind cleans up.
By the end of the run, Thursday the 20th has a 6ft west swell with light wind, but again, it’s cross-onshore, making it a bit of a messy option. The second week is mostly a story of too much wind or too much size with poor conditions.
Overall, it’s a lean period for Tronoen. The bank is quiet, and the wind is rarely your friend. The 17th of August is the one to keep an eye on for the big-wave hunters, but for the average punter, the early morning glass-off on the 9th is your best bet for a clean, gentle session.
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.
