Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tronoen over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Tronoen over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, and for the first week and a bit, it’s pretty quiet. We’ve got a stretch from now through to around July 19th where there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The swell’s tiny, mostly under 2ft, with short-period chop, and the wind’s usually onshore or cross-on. There’s a few glassy moments on the morning of the 14th and again on the 18th, but the combined swell energy’s weak (37 and 20), so it’s flat in the water. Nothing to get excited about.
Then things start to shift around the 19th. Sunday the 19th afternoon sees a bump up to 6ft from the WNW, but the period’s a short 6 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore. Combined energy is moderate at 228, but the conditions are lumpy. Not really a goer for surfing – more like a kite day if you’re into that.
Monday the 20th kicks off with 6ft WNW swell, period 7 seconds, light cross-onshore, and energy at 362. Still only a marginal call, with the wind messing it up. Not worth rushing.
Now, Tuesday the 21st is where it gets interesting. Early morning we’ve got a solid 8ft NW groundswell rolling in, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is a clean cross-off from the ESE, and the combined energy is a strong 996. Tronoen is an exposed spot and looks best with swell from WSW, but NW is still gonna push in. At 8ft, this is expert territory – too big for beginners. If you’re up for it, the morning session is the call.
Wednesday the 22nd still has good energy, with 5ft NW swell in the morning, period 8 seconds, and a light cross-off from the SE. Clean conditions, combined energy at 363. Solid intermediate-level surf.
After that, it drops off again. Thursday the 23rd into the weekend looks small and onshore, with poor conditions. Friday the 24th morning has a brief glassy moment with 2ft WNW swell and a long 9-second period, but combined energy’s low at 84 – barely surfable.
Overall, the standout window is Tuesday the 21st morning – that’s the one to circle. Big, powerful NW swell with clean wind. After that, Wednesday holds decent waves, then it fades. Water temp anomaly isn’t given, so I can’t tell if it’s warmer or cooler than usual, but given the overall pattern, it’s probably about average for July.
So, get your big board ready for Tuesday and Wednesday next week. The rest is 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.
