The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Tronoen.
Right now, the surf is a bit of a struggle. The first week is mostly a write-off with poor conditions and messy wind. Sunday the 26th has onshore wind and lumpy 5ft to 6ft swell, knotted up by a strong cross-onshore breeze. It’s not the kind of day that gets you out of bed. The combined wave energy sits around 236 to 362 (moderate) but the quality just isn’t there.
Monday the 27th shows a little pulse in the morning: 6ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds and moderate energy (530). The wind is light cross-shore, which means small ripples on the face, but the vibe is still only marginal – maybe a short board session if you’re keen, but it’s nothing to write home about.
The following days drop off quickly. Tuesday the 28th has cleaner conditions in the morning thanks to a cross-offshore ESE breeze, but the swell is fading to 4ft – a mediocre outlook. By Wednesday the 29th, it’s down to 3ft with onshore wind and only 105 energy; really just flat and messy. Thursday and Friday are small, weak, and mostly cross-onshore or choppy.
Now, if you’re a true local and willing to wait, there is a standout later on. Monday the 10th of August is the one to circle. The morning brings a 7ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period, and combined energy jumps to 1147 – that’s strong. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NNE, so the waves should be nicely shaped and lined up. This is excellent conditions for experienced surfers; the size is over 8ft, which means it’s not for beginners. The break is exposed to swell and the direction is a good match for Tronoen’s optimum. It’s a long way out, so forecasts can still shift, but right now that Monday morning looks like the best shot in the whole 16-day window.
Generally, the consistency is fairly decent at Tronoen, so a run of poor days like this isn’t the norm – forecasts can turn around. Stay optimistic.
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.
