The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at how things are shaping up for you.
Honestly, we’ve got a pretty grim run ahead. Right from the start of the forecast period on Saturday, September 5th, through to the very end on Sunday, September 20th, there’s not a single session that’s worth jumping in for. The entire 16-day window is a flat, energy-less stretch. The surf is simply too small and too weak to do anything with.
We start on Saturday morning with a tiny 1.0ft SE swell, period a short 8 seconds, and a weak combined energy of only 22. The wind is a light cross-off, but the wave size is just pathetic. That theme continues day after day. Sunday, September 6th, sees a bump to 2ft from the ENE, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds and the energy is a low 39 – it’s windswell mush. Monday the 7th goes back to a 1.0ft E swell, Tuesday the 8th is even smaller at 0.7ft, and it just never gets going.
The only time we see any real height is on Wednesday, September 9th, when the swell jumps to 5ft from the SSW, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the energy hits 165. It’s accompanied by a strong 25 mph cross-shore wind, making it a total mess. Thursday the 10th has a cleaner 4ft SSW swell with offshore winds, but the energy is still moderate and the size is just not there for quality. The rest of the month is a repeat of tiny, weak, short-period slop. The water temperature is 69° at Atlantic Terrace, which is about normal for the time of year. Nothing to get excited about.
If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon of September 9th with 5ft and strong cross-shore wind might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, this is a total write-off.
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.
