The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, maybe a beer, ‘cause we’ve got a long, quiet spell ahead. Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Terry’s Cove, it’s a tough stretch. There’s really nothing to get excited about. It’s one of those classic flat spells where you’re better off fixing your dings or just taking a break.
We’re kicking off with a total dud this Friday, the 7th of August. The swell is barely a ripple at 0.3 ft from the south, with a weak period and a combined wave energy of just 1 – that’s about as flat as it gets. The wind is coming from the east at 9 mph in the morning, so it’s a messy cross-onshore and it’s just choppy. The water temp is sitting at 86°F, which feels pretty average for this time of year here.
The whole first week is a total write-off. Swell heights stay stubbornly below 2 ft right through until the 15th of August, with energy numbers barely hitting double digits. The wind is a real mixed bag too – mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with a few clean-ish mornings popping up, like Saturday the 8th with a light cross-offshore. But without any wave height to back it up, clean conditions don’t mean much.
There is a tiny glimmer, if you can call it that, on the morning of Wednesday the 19th of August. We get some glassy conditions – winds go completely calm – but again, the swell is only 0.7 ft from the SSE. It’s a south swell direction which is okay for this break, but the energy is still feeble at 7.
Really, the entire 16-day window is a blank run. There’s no standout day, no pumpable session. The beach setup here just can’t do anything with these tiny pulses and constant side-shore winds. If it wasn’t so small, the onshore wind on some days would make this more of a kite spot than a surf spot.
Keep the chin up, though. It’s a dry spell, but the forecasts can flip. For now, it’s a solid skip.
