The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at Atlantic Terrace. Honestly, we’re in a bit of a dry spell here. Most of the next 16 days are looking pretty flat or messy, with only a few brief windows of something rideable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real chance to get wet arrives on Saturday morning, August 29. The swell is tiny, just 2 ft from the SE with a short 8-second period, and the combined energy is weak (50). But the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, making it clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – small and weak, best for a longboard or a beginner looking to paddle around. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are often an issue here, so expect company.
There’s another little window Monday morning, August 31. The swell is still small at 3 ft from the SSE, period is a short 5 seconds, and wave energy is weak (68). The wind, though, is glassy, dead calm from the WNW. That’ll make the surface silky smooth. Again, it’s surfable but nothing to write home about.
After that, things get messy. From Tuesday, September 1, through to around Thursday, September 3, we see a bump in size – waves up to 5 ft, and even 8 ft on the morning of September 3, with increasing energy (853 on that morning). But the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore from the E and ENE, with speeds up to 31 mph. It’s blown out, lumpy, and poor. That kind of set-up with a beach-and-reef break might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
There’s a brief clean-up on Tuesday morning, September 8, with a 4 ft swell from the SSE, short 5-second period, and light cross-offshore wind from the W. The energy is weak (95), but it’s clean. Still, it’s only surfable, not good.
The long-range outlook stays uninspiring. The best bet in the whole run is probably that Saturday morning, August 29, for the cleanest conditions, even if the waves are tiny. Otherwise, keep your expectations low – this stretch is mostly a blank run for the area.

Information about the Atlantic Terrace Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Atlantic Terrace provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Atlantic Terrace can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Atlantic Terrace 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 (Atlantic Terrace) 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 Atlantic Terrace 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.
