Overview
Trevone is a northwest-facing beachbreak tucked into a narrow, sheltered bay on a jagged stretch of coast. The waves break over sand, with rock in the mix, and can turn steep and fast off the sandbars at either end, especially when there's plenty of west in the swell. It suits intermediate surfers, and while the banks are worth checking in a decent swell, this is a below-average performer that only comes together now and then.
When It Works
Trevone needs a big, wrapping swell to get going. It draws swell from southwest through northwest, with west the best match, and is usable from 0.3 m / 1 ft to 2.1 m / 7 ft, roughly waist high to overhead. The break tends to be somewhat inconsistent and fires only occasionally, mainly through autumn and winter from December to February. Both lefts and rights are on offer, and at lower tides a fun left can peel off the rocks.
Wind and Tide
The bay is offshore on a southeast wind. It comes to life at low to mid tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.
Local Tips
The lineup stays quiet and can feel a little reserved, though it doesn't take much for the peaks to get busy on the rare days it's working. It handles a wide range of boards, from shortboards, fish and funboards to longboards, bodyboards and bodysurfing. The paddle out is easy; just keep an eye on the rocks.
Access
Parking overlooks the beach, with a paid car park for leaving the car. Restrooms and a surf shop round out the facilities in the village.
