The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Terry’s Cove over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty lean run. The first week or so is just a write-off – tiny, weak swells and messy wind. You’ll be staring at flat, choppy water with no real energy to speak of. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits for most of that time, and a lot of the afternoons are getting chopped up by fresh cross-shore breezes. There’s a gap of about seven days where there’s nothing worth paddling out for.
The one little glimmer comes on the morning of Saturday, August 1st. That morning we finally see a pulse of 3ft swell from the SW, with a 6-second period, and the wind is offshore from the N at 16 mph. That’s a clean, offshore morning, and the combined energy climbs to 80 – still weak, but at least there’s something to push you around. It’s a beginner-friendly sandbar, so the size is manageable, but don’t expect any power. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Crowds are possible, but for a spot that’s ‘fairly consistent’, this is a rare decent window. The swell direction (SW) is a good match for the optimum SSE, so it’ll wrap in okay.
After that, it’s back into the doldrums. The second week sees more tiny swells, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is a mix of cross-off and cross, with the combined energy dropping back to single figures or low teens. Nothing to get excited about. The morning of Thursday, August 6th, has a glassy 0.7ft from the S, but that’s barely a ripple.
Overall, if you’re hanging for a surf, hit the morning of the 1st of August. The rest of the window is a quiet one, but forecasts can change – it’s not the end of the world.
