The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next 16 days are a mixed bag for Tronoen. The surf gets going Tuesday morning, July 28th, with a clean 4ft swell out of the WNW, carrying a moderate wave energy of 226. The wind is a nice cross-off from the ESE, so the morning will be clean. But it’s a small window – the afternoon turns cross-on and messy, and then we’re looking at a frustrating run of poor surf through Wednesday, Thursday, and into the weekend. The swell drops right off and the wind is all over the place, so you’re better off doing something else for a few days.
There’s a bit of a pickup on July 31st (Friday morning) with a clean 3ft cross-off from the N, but the wave energy is pretty weak (82). Not a standout, just a ‘maybe get wet if you’re desperate’ kind of session.
The real highlight comes on the morning of Friday, August 7th. That’s where we’ve got a solid 6ft groundswell out of the WNW, with a wave energy of 410 (strong). The wind is a dead calm glassy ESE – that’s what we’re after. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird. Tronoen is an exposed spot, and with the swell direction matching the optimum WSW, it’s going to handle this size well. It’s a fairly consistent break, but crowds are possible, so get in early. The 7ft swell on Thursday, August 6th is clean in the afternoon, but it’s bigger and more powerful (603 energy), so that’s more for the experienced crew. Still, the best bet is the Friday glass-off.
After that, the swell stays big through the weekend of August 8th and 9th, but the wind is onshore and lumpy, making it a no-go for paddle surfing – honestly, looks more like a kite day. The swell drops a bit into the middle of the second week, but the wind stays messy.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
