The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get straight into it. Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be honest with you—looking at the next 16 days for Terry’s Cove, it’s a flat spell with hardly anything to get excited about.
Right now, we’re coming off the back of a run of tiny, weak swells. The water temp is sitting around 86°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing unusual there. But the surf? Forget it. For the first week, from Sunday the 9th through to Saturday the 16th, it’s pretty much all poor surf conditions. Swell heights are barely a ripple—0.3 ft to 1 ft—with periods so short you wouldn’t even call it a wave. The combined energy is mostly in the single digits (1 to 6), so it’s weak, weak, weak. Winds are a mix of cross and cross-on, so it’s choppy and messy.
There’s a bit of a shift around Sunday the 16th morning with a light offshore cross-off wind, but the swell is still only 0.3 ft—just not enough to do anything with. The pattern stays much the same into the second week. Monday the 17th morning is clean with a cross-off breeze but still only 0.7 ft. The combined energy is a bit higher (7 to 9), but that’s because of wind chop, not real groundswell.
The only time we see any kind of notable bump is on Saturday the 22nd afternoon, when the swell bumps up to 2 ft from the ESE with a 4-second period and combined energy hitting 11 (moderate). But the wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph, so it’ll be choppy. The best of the whole outlook is probably Sunday the 23rd morning—clean, glassy conditions with a light NNW offshore wind, and 1 ft from the ESE. It’s not big, not powerful, but at least it’ll be clean enough for a longboard or a foamie. After that, it drops right back off again to almost nothing for the last couple of days.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. If you’re gonna paddle out, pick the cleanest of the tiny clean days. Otherwise, save your energy. Forecasts can change, but right now it’s a tough run.

Information about the Terry s Cove Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Terry s Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Terry s Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Terry s Cove 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 (Terry s Cove) 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 Terry s Cove 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.
