The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one, folks. I'm looking at the whole 16-day window for Atlantic Terrace, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a flat spell with a couple of tiny flickers of hope right at the very end.
Right now, and for the next two weeks, it’s a ghost town. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the energy is just... sad. The biggest swell we see in that first week is a 3ft, and that's with a 6-second period, which is just a blown-out, wind-affected mess. The whole first week is a write-off.
There's a bit of a gap there where there's nothing, but then we get a tiny glimmer on the 19th of August. Wednesday morning, the wind swings to a nice cross-off breeze from the north. The swell picks up to 5ft from the south with a 7-second period. That’s the one standout. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no worries there.
For a beginner spot, 5ft is right on the edge of being too much, but with that clean cross-off wind, it'll be the best it's looked all month. This is a beach and reef setup, and with a short period swell like that, it might be a bit crumbly, but the glassy conditions will make it rideable. Because it's "fairly consistent" and "often" crowded, you'll want to get there early.
The 18th of August, Tuesday afternoon, has a bigger swell (4ft) and a strong offshore wind, but it's a fresh breeze, which will make it a bit of a battle. The 19th morning is the better bet.
After that, it drops back to nothing. So, honestly, don't hold your breath for the next two weeks. Mark that Wednesday the 19th of August in your calendar, cross your fingers, and hope the long-range forecast holds.

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.
