The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a real tough one to read. For the entire 16-day window, the surf at Atlantic Terrace is looking like a long, drawn-out period of minimal activity. There’s a big gap of nothing happening right from the start, with no real surf worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Monday, September 14th, and even then, it’s just a tiny pulse. We get a bit of a bump on Monday morning with a 3 ft SSE swell, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The combined energy is only 103 (Moderate wave energy), which is just enough to get a few ankle-biters. The wind is a light westerly, keeping it clean, but honestly, it’s more about having a float than a surf.
The only other half-decent window appears way out on Saturday, September 19th. The morning shows a 3 ft SW swell with a 6-second period, but the wind is a light offshore from the NNW for the afternoon session. That’s going to be the cleanest, most rideable wave in the whole run. The combined energy climbs to 78, which is still weak, but for this break, that’s about as good as it gets. The wind is the key – that offshore breeze will make the little bumps a lot more fun.
Sunday, September 20th sees a jump in size to 5 ft from the ENE, but the period is short and the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, turning it into a complete mess. That’s not surf; that’s a washing machine. For the rest of the run, the wind is all over the place, mostly cross, onshore, or strong, with lumpy chop.
The water temperature is sitting at a nice 70°, which is about average for the time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re not catching waves.
Look, for a beach and reef setup like Atlantic Terrace, this is a pretty normal blank run. It’s just not happening. The only real standout is that Saturday, September 19th afternoon session with the offshore wind. If you’re desperate, go for a paddle then. Otherwise, save your energy.
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.
