The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Atlantic Terrace. Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid 16-day window to look at, but the first real chance of a decent wave doesn't pop up until the morning of Thursday, the 23rd of July. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing special – small, choppy, and mostly blown out by the wind.
The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no need for a steamer or anything.
Let’s start with that Thursday, July 23rd. Thursday morning is the one to circle. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell coming from the south, with a period around 9 seconds. That’s a decent little groundswell. The wind is light, from the north at just 6 mph, which is a nice cross-offshore breeze. It’ll be clean. The combined energy reading is 388 (moderate), so there’s some punch there. This is the best of the bunch, no question. It’s still a beginner-friendly break, but that 5 ft might be a touch big for total beginners. The rest of that Thursday, and the days following, are a letdown. Friday the 24th through to the end of the month just get messy again with onshore winds and small, weak swells.
There’s a couple of ‘glass’ conditions on the 20th of July morning and the 31st of July morning, but the waves are tiny – 3 ft and 2 ft respectively. Surfable, but you’ll be scratching for anything with a face. The same goes for the 2nd and 3rd of August, with a little 3 ft and 3 ft offering, but the energy is weak (86 and 59). It’s just not enough to get excited about.
So, the standout is the Thursday morning, July 23rd. Get on it if you can. The rest of the forecast is a lot of waiting for the next pulse. The crowds are said to be ‘often’ here, so you might have some company on that Thursday morning, but it’ll be worth it for a few clean ones.
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.
