The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour, because that’s what’s on my board.

It’s a grim picture for the next couple of weeks. The only break we’ve got to look at is Terry’s Cove, and I’m telling you, don’t rush to wet a line for a while.

We’ve got a long stretch of flatness ahead. From now until Tuesday the 24th of September, the surf is just not on. We’re talking tiny, weak waves with almost no energy – the combined swell energy is usually in the single digits. That’s a flat spell of about 13 days with nothing worth paddling out for.

Then, on the morning of Tuesday the 22nd of September, we see a pulse of life. Swell bumps up to about 3ft from the ESE, and the combined energy hits 46 – that’s a weak to moderate pulse, but it’s a start. Wind is blowing NE at 22 mph, which is cross-offshore, so the surface should be clean.

The best of the lot, the only real standout, is Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning offers up 3ft from the ESE with a period of 5 seconds – short interval windswell, so it won’t be perfect. But the wind is cranking N at 25 mph, a strong offshore breeze that will clean it right up. The afternoon holds similar conditions: 4ft, ESE, with the same strong offshore wind. The combined energy hits 77, the highest we’ll see. This one is for experts only – that wind is going to be a mission to paddle into.

The clean conditions hold through Thursday the 24th of September, with a NNW wind at 25 mph, offering clean 3ft waves from the SE, but the energy drops to 53.

So the call is Wednesday the 23rd of September at Terry’s Cove. Small but clean, thanks to strong offshore winds. It’s the only real chance in a pretty dead couple of weeks. For experts only, though.

Rusty.

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.
