The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you. Tronoen is going to be a tough call for the next little while. The first week is mostly blown out by strong onshore winds and poor quality swell. But there’s a sweet spot coming.
From today through the start of September, it’s pretty grim. On Saturday the 29th of August, there’s 3.0m of swell but with an 8-second period and 40 km/h winds right onshore – that’s a washing machine. The next few days are choppy and cross-onshore. Monday morning the 31st of August shows a slight chance with 2.5m and moderate wind, but it’s only marginal and the energy is moderate (1281). Not worth the hassle.
Then Saturday the 5th of September rolls in and it’s a different story. The morning is the standout – glassy conditions, a light west wind, 1.7m of northwest swell with a long 12-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy (770), and the direction is right in the sweet spot for the break. It’s gonna shape up nicely. The afternoon stays okay with 1.6m, but the morning session is the one.
Sunday the 6th of September drops off to 0.9m, so that Saturday window is short but sweet. After that, it’s back to windy and messy. Monday the 7th sees 2.4m but with a short 7-second period and onshore winds – no thanks. Tuesday the 8th gets huge, with 3.5m swell and extreme energy (2397), but it’s cross-onshore and only for experts. Wednesday the 9th is also big, 3.0m with a clean cross-off wind, but again, that’s big wave territory only.
The rest of the forecast into the second week fades into weak swell and poor conditions. So to sum it up: Saturday the 5th of September, early morning, is your only real shot at clean, solid waves. Mark it down.

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.
