The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Atlantic Terrace for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, this is a tough one to write. The pattern is looking pretty grim for the entire 16-day window right now, with a massive gap of bad conditions before we even get a whiff of anything surfable.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until late in the run. We’ve got a solid stretch of poor surf from the start all the way through until the end of the first week of August. The winds are almost always cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. It’s a real downer.
The one day that stands out as a potential cheeky session, and it’s a long way off, is Sunday, August 9th. This is the only morning that looks like it could be worth a paddle. Atlantic Terrace is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the south-east. The swell is tiny at 3 ft from the SSW, short period, and the combined energy is a weak 52. That’s not going to get the heart racing. But, the wind will be offshore from the northwest at 6 mph, keeping things clean. It’s the cleanest we’ll see the whole run, but the waves themselves are just ordinary. After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the forecast.
The water temperature is 69°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget a steamer if you chance it.
Honestly, if you’ve got a kite, those strong cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions might be more interesting than trying to get a paddle wave in. This blank run is pretty normal for the area when the conditions line up wrong, but it tends not to stay this poor for long. Forecasts can change.

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.
