The Lowdown
Alright, let's break it down for the 16-day window. Honestly, it's a rough stretch for Tronoen. The first real chance of a wave you can actually ride doesn't hit until Tuesday the 11th. Before that, from Wednesday the 5th all the way through Monday the 10th, it's just poor, choppy, onshore slop. Not worth paddling out for.
The first glimmer is on Tuesday morning, the 11th. You've got a clean 2ft swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The wave energy is weak, only 63 (combined energy), so it's small, but at least it'll be glassy. That's your only real chance for a surf before the next good window.
The standout of the whole forecast, and the only one that gets me keen, is Friday morning, the 14th of August. The wind is offshore from the NE at 9 mph, and the swell picks up to 4ft from the W, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is 225 (moderate), and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” That's the one to aim for. It's a gentle offshore, clean conditions, and the swell direction (W) lines up perfectly with the optimum (WSW) for Tronoen. This is your best bet.
Saturday morning the 15th also looks promising with a 5ft swell from the WNW, light ENE breeze, and clean conditions. Energy is strong at 385, but the wind is cross-offshore, not quite as clean as Friday. That's your second pick.
After that, things go downhill again. Sunday the 16th is messy, and by Monday the 17th we get a 7ft to 8ft swell from the W, but it's all cross-onshore and lumpy. That's getting too big for beginners and is blown out. Then Tuesday the 18th sees a huge 10ft swell from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is onshore at 19-22 mph. That's only for experts and even then, it's going to be a washing machine. The combined energy is a massive 2060 (very strong), but the quality is poor. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Late in the window, from the 19th into the 20th, it's back to onshore winds and poor conditions.
So, to wrap it up: don't bother this week. Mark your calendar for the morning of Friday the 14th of August. That's the one. The Saturday morning is a decent backup. Anything after that is either too big, too windy, or too messy.

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.
