Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Tronoen. I’ll be honest with you, mate – this is a flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. We’ve got a 16-day window here, and the first proper surf that’s even worth paddlin’ for doesn’t show up until Thursday morning, the 9th of July. Even then, it’s a real struggle.
The whole period is dominated by weak, short-period windswell, mostly from the WNW, and the combined energy never really gets out of the low-to-moderate range. The best we see is a reading of 150 (moderate wave energy) on Friday morning, the 10th, but the wind’s a mess. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no shock there.
Let’s walk through it. Thursday morning, the 9th, is your best bet in the whole outlook. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the closest thing we have. Tronoen has a 3 ft swell from the WNW at 10 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the NE, keeping things clean. Combined energy is 136 (moderate). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might get a few out, but it won’t be packed. The swell direction is off the optimum for this break (WSW is the money direction), so the waves are a bit average. After that, it’s downhill.
Thursday afternoon on the 9th goes cross-on from the WNW, and the quality drops. Friday the 10th is a write-off with strong winds, and Saturday morning the 11th has a clean 3 ft swell from the WNW, but the energy is weak (104) and the wind is a moderate offshore from the E. It’s just small and weak. The rest of the first week is a mix of tiny, choppy, or onshore conditions. Most of the time, the swell is under 2 ft, and the combined energy is in the pathetic 20-60 range. There’s a long gap of poor surf from Saturday afternoon the 11th right through to Monday the 20th.
Then things get weird. On Monday the 20th of July, the swell picks up to 4 ft, but it’s a short-period NNW windswell at 6 seconds, with onshore winds howling at 22 mph. Combined energy climbs to 124 (moderate) by the afternoon, but it’s a messy, windy, onshore mess. The break is a beach setup, and with those strong, onshore winds and that junky, wind-affected swell, this is looking way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The conditions are strictly for experts, if anyone, and it’s not going to be pretty.
So, to sum it up: Thursday morning, the 9th of July, is the only real window. It’s a small, clean, average wave. Everything else is either flat, blown out, or both. If you’re desperate, you might get a knee-high ripple on the 9th or 11th, but don’t hold your breath. The rest of the 16 days is a blank run, which is pretty normal for the area when the swell direction is 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.
