G’day, Rusty here. Let’s call it like it is—this 16-day forecast for Terry’s Cove is a total bummer. It’s a sandbar break that’s pretty exposed, but the swell is flat, the energy is weak, and the wind is all over the place. There’s no standout session in here, and honestly, it’s one of those stretches where you’re better off staying home.
The first tiny pulse comes on Saturday, July 11th in the morning. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the SSE with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is only 23 – weak stuff. The wind is onshore from the SSE, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. The water is 89°F, which is about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s much warmer than normal, so you’ll be in boardies. Afternoon picks up a little to 3ft from the same SSE swell, but the energy is still weak at 45, and the wind is cross-onshore from the south. A longboard might snag a few crumbly ones, but it’s a real struggle.
Sunday, July 12th afternoon gives you a tiny 1ft swell from the SSE with a 5-second period, but the wind goes glassy from the SW. That’s the cleanest it’ll be all week, but at 1ft, it’s barely a ripple. Combined energy is a measly 8. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is a total flat spell.
The rest of the 16 days is a whole lot of nothing. The swell never gets above 3ft, periods stay short, and the wind flips around – cross-off, onshore, offshore, glassy – but it doesn’t matter because there’s no wave energy. The combined energy values are mostly in single digits or low double digits (like 6, 7, 9, 3), meaning we’re looking at weak to very weak energy the whole way. There’s a moment on Tuesday, July 21st afternoon with a 1ft swell from the SW and a 3-second period, but the wind is offshore from the NNW at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. Still, at 1ft and energy of 6, it’s a micro-swell.
Bottom line: there’s no quality surf on offer in this 16-day window. The swell is too small, the energy is too low, and the period is too short. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rare dry run. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s flat and quiet. Wait for the next system.
Rusty.

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.
