G'day, I'm Rusty. Well, it's one of those outlooks where we're gonna have to be patient. The next sixteen days at Tronoen are looking pretty lean, with no true standouts in the mix. The surf starts off real small and weak, and honestly, for the first week and a half, it's mostly a write-off. The best of a very ordinary bunch is a little window around Thursday the 9th of July through to Saturday the 11th of July, but even then, it's nothing to write home about.
Let's kick off on Tuesday the 7th of July. We've got tiny 2ft waves from the WNW with a short, weak period of 9 seconds – the combined energy is a paltry 59. The morning is glassy and calm, but the waves are just too weak to do anything with. Tuesday afternoon gets messy with a 20 km/h cross-on shore NW wind, making it choppy and poor.
Wednesday the 8th of July is a bit better in the morning. The swell lifts slightly to 2ft from the WNW, period stretches to 10 seconds, and with a glassy SSE breeze, it cleans up nicely. Energy climbs to a moderate 100, but it's still very small and weak. You *could* get a couple of little ones, but it's ordinary at best. Wednesday afternoon gets blown out again by that same 20 km/h NW cross-on wind.
Now, the pick of the lot is the period from Thursday the 9th to Saturday the 11th of July. Thursday morning sees 3ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and a clean, cross-off NNE breeze at 10 km/h. Energy is a moderate 139. It's surfable. The best conditions of the whole outlook look to be Saturday the 11th of July morning, with a solid 15 km/h offshore wind from the ENE, clean lines, and similar 3ft, 10-second WNW swell. The energy is a decent 146. But don't get too excited; this is still small, mushy, and ordinary for an exposed spot like Tronoen.
Everything after Saturday the 12th of July drops off hard. Sunday the 12th sees the swell plummet to 1ft with a weak 9-second period, and despite offshore winds, there's no energy (40). From Monday the 13th of July through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, the swell stays below 2ft for days on end, often with onshore winds or choppy conditions. There's a brief spike on Thursday the 16th of July morning, with a 4ft WSW swell, but the period is a short, choppy 6 seconds, and it's glassy – the wave energy is moderate at 134, but it's just slop from a wind swell, not a proper wave. That one looks more interesting for a kite board than a paddle surfer.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, to wrap it up: there's nothing that's a proper standout. If you're desperate for a paddle, Thursday the 9th through Saturday the 11th of July mornings offer the cleanest, most surfable conditions with small, weak waves. But honestly, for a spot like Tronoen, this is just a flat spell. It won't stay this way forever.
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.
