The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what’s on the cards for Atlantic Terrace.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat and scrappy start. Wednesday the 15th has a bit of waist-high swell, but it’s weak and choppy with tricky winds. Honestly, the first week is a write-off for anything decent. We’re talking day after day of poor surf, with the swell barely a ripple and messy winds. There’s a spot of hope on Saturday the 19th where the swell bumps up to a solid 5 ft, but that’s paired with a strong wind, so it’s just a big, blown-out mess.
The one true standout, the only time you’ll want to paddle out, is Monday morning, July 20th. The wind will be glassy. That’s a major positive. We’ll have a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the south with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate at 241, so there’s some push behind it. It’s not going to be a monster, but for this stretch, that’s the best we’re going to get. Expect clean, surfable waves. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so perfect for a few long rides without the crowd stress, though the crowds here are listed as ‘often’, so you might see a few other folk out.
After that bright spot, Monday afternoon turns to rubbish again with a cross-onshore. The rest of the week into the end of July looks pretty hopeless with tiny, weak swells in the 1 ft to 3 ft range and poor conditions. The 26th and 27th offer a brief pulse of 4 ft swell, but the winds are all wrong, churning up the surface. There’s a stretch from around the 23rd to the 30th where the swell just completely drops off, barely offering anything rideable. It’s a long, flat run for this beach and reef setup.
Stay patient, and maybe have a backup plan. This region needs a proper southerly groundswell to get fired up.
Rusty.

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.
