Table - best surf conditions forecast for Atlantic Terrace over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Atlantic Terrace.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch ahead. The next 16 days are looking like a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. The first few days are tiny, with weak, messy wind and poor conditions. The swell does pick up a bit mid-week, but the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping everything chopped up and ugly. There’s a real gap of nothing working from now until the 19th of July, but even then, it’s only a glimmer. The whole period is plagued by onshore and cross-shore winds, and the swell energy, while it climbs to moderate levels, it’s still accompanied by poor conditions. The water temps are a bit colder than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°F.
The one and only window of hope comes early on Sunday, the 19th of July. For a brief moment on Sunday morning, the wind goes glassy, with a slight air moving. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the south, with a period of 7 seconds. It’s described as ‘surfable waves but very ordinary conditions’. This is it. The only highlight in a sea of poor surf. Get out there first light if you’re desperate for a slide, but don’t expect any magic. After that, it’s back to poor conditions, with bumps of energy on the 20th and 21st but ruined by onshore winds. For the rest of the run, the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, keeping the surface lumpy. The swell direction from the SE and S matches the optimum for the break, but the wind is the enemy here.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a poor run. It’s worth keeping an eye on the charts though, as things can change. As it stands, if you’re looking for a real session, you’re better off waiting for the next system.
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.
