The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve had a good look at the charts for Tronoen, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s barely a session worth paddling out for, so we’re looking at a long, flat spell with a few half-hearted pulses that just don’t come together. The biggest gap is right from the start: nothing worth riding until the morning of Saturday, August 3rd, and even then it’s a real "maybe" wave.
The first real flicker of hope comes Saturday morning, August 3rd. We’ve got a tiny 2ft W swell, but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the north, keeping things clean. The energy is weak (75), so it’s more of a longboard cruise than anything with punch. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Sunday morning, August 4th is a bit of a tease. A clean 1ft W swell with light offshore winds from the ENE. The energy is even weaker (51), so you’ll be working for every ride. It’s a glassy morning, but the lack of size means it’s really only for the dedicated.
The only real standout – and I use that term loosely – is the Friday, August 9th morning. The swell jumps to 3ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The energy is moderate (168), and the wind is light and cross-shore, so the surface will be clean. But at 3ft, it’s not big, and it’s not a classic Tronoen day. Still, if you’re jonesing for a paddle, this is the best on offer.
Later that week, Saturday morning, August 10th has a 5ft WSW swell, but the wind is onshore and messy. The energy is moderate (231), but with onshore wind and a short 7-second period, it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The rest of the window is a write-off: onshore winds, tiny swells, or both. There’s a pulse of 6ft on Friday, August 7th, but it’s straight onshore with a 7-second period and strong winds – that’s a washing machine, not a wave. Avoid it.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is the morning of Friday, August 9th for a clean but small session. The morning of Saturday, August 3rd is a distant second. Everything else is a no-go. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
