Hey crew, Rusty here. The news for Atlantic Terrace isn’t pretty – the whole 16-day window is a dud. This spot can be fairly consistent, but not this time. We’re looking at a long dry spell with hardly any surfable waves.
Starting Thursday July 9, it’s flat: 1ft of weak ESE swell, crosswind, water temp at 68°F (about average, anomaly -1°F). Energy is a puny 50. Friday July 10 morning gives a tiny 2ft from the south, period only 5 seconds, but with a light offshore west-northwest wind – it’s ridable but nothing special. Then it’s back to poor. Tuesday July 14 afternoon sees a bump to 5ft from the south-southwest, but a strong crosswind and messy chop make it unsurfable. Energy hits 175 (moderate). Only other moments are Wednesday July 15 afternoon (2ft, offshore north-west, clean) and Sunday July 19 morning (3ft, light offshore north-west, clean) – both small and ordinary.
Later on, around July 20-21, there’s a little more swell – up to 4ft, energy 177 – but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s chopped up. No good options at all. The break can get crowded when it’s firing, but that won’t be an issue. This is a stretch for kites, not surfboards. Hang loose and wait for a better window.

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.
Atlantic Terrace is 39 km (24 miles) from New London. If you plan a vacation in Long Island New York, look for hotels and other accommodation in New London. New London has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
