The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for Terry’s Cove and, honestly, it’s a dead quiet stretch. We’re looking at a full 16-day run with no proper surf on the cards. Not a single recommendation to get excited about. The swell energy is negligible, barely registering, and what little bump shows up is tiny—0.3ft to 1ft at best—with short, weak periods of 2 to 5 seconds. That’s not surf, that’s a lake.
The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won’t be needing your board for that.
First few days from August 28th through to the end of the month are completely flat or have tiny, wind-affected slop. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, with some light breezes, but it’s just moving water around, not making waves. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th see 1ft of junk from the east and southeast—weak, choppy, and not worth paddling out for.
Into September, it stays dead. Morning glazes here and there on the 2nd and the 6th are pretty, but there’s nothing underneath them. That September 6th Sunday morning is glassy with light north-west winds, but the swell is only 0.3ft—you’d need a magnifying glass to see it.
Even the offshore winds on September 11th and 12th don’t help because there’s zero swell to groom. The wave energy is in the single digits, sometimes zero. You could count the total combined swell energy for the entire forecast on one hand.
In this part of the world, a blank run like this isn’t unusual. The break is a sandbar setup exposed to the south-southeast, but nothing’s lining up. It’s a waiting game. Stay tuned, forecasts can change. But right now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
