The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. Not much going on at Atlantic Terrace for a good while. The first real shot at anything half decent doesn’t show up until Thursday September 10th.
Water temp is about 70°F, right where it should be for this time of year, no weird anomalies.
For that Thursday the 10th, we’ll see a clean 1.5m (about 5 ft) swell from the SSW, with a solid offshore wind from the WNW blowing at 16 mph. It’ll be glassy, clean, and the best looking session in the whole outlook. The swell energy is moderate at (358), so there’s some life in it. Might be a bit too much for total beginners given the size, but for anyone who can handle waist-to-head-high surf, this is your morning.
Before that, expect a long stretch of nada. You’ll have a few tiny, clean mornings with weak knee-high waves and offshore winds on September 4th and 7th, but they’re barely worth the walk down. The 9th sees a bigger bump – up to 1.8m (about 6 ft) in the afternoon – but the wind turns cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy.
After the 10th, it drops right back to small, weak conditions with very little push. Friday the 11th has some clean small waves with offshore wind, but they’re soft and uninspiring.
So the call here is simple: save your energy. The standout window is Thursday the 10th of September, morning session. Everything else is flat or blown out.

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.
