The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s be straight with you – Terry’s Cove is a sandbar setup that's exposed to the swell, but this whole 16-day window is a tough one. You're looking at a blank run with no worthwhile surf on offer right from the start. The entire forecast is filled with "poor surf conditions" and the combined energy of all swells directed here is either 0 or single-digit values, peaking at a measly 72. That’s weak wave energy, folks. The water’s sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
For Thursday the 27th through to Monday the 7th of September, there’s absolutely nothing to get excited about. The swell heights barely tickle 4ft on the 30th of August, and that’s on a short-period 5 seconds with onshore wind. It’s a messy, blown-out mess at a beach break. The energy is weak, and it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days.
Even the few times we see offshore winds, like Friday morning the 28th with a light NE breeze or the Thursday morning of the 3rd of September with glassy conditions, the swell is just too small – 1.0ft to 1ft – and the period is short. It’s clean, but you’ll be bobbing around on nothing. The biggest bump is on Sunday the 30th of August, with a 4ft to 4ft swell from the SE, but the period is only 5 seconds and it’s onshore. The combined energy hits 72 that afternoon, which is still weak.
From the 8th of September onwards, it’s more of the same: tiny, weak swells and poor conditions. There's no standout here. Not a single day offers more than 1ft waves worth paddling for. This is a dry spell, plain and simple.
Rusty.
