The Lowdown
Alright folks, this is Rusty, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. There’s no surf worth paddling out for in these 16 days. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.
Starting Sunday 26th July, we’ve got tiny 0.7 ft dribble from the WSW with a 4-second period and next to no energy. That carries through Monday and Tuesday—nothing but flat, weak, and small. The wind is mostly cross-off or glassy at times, but with waves barely ankle-high, it doesn’t matter.
The best we see is around Sunday 2nd August, where the swell bumps up to 4 ft at 6 seconds from the SW, with combined energy getting up to 84. But the wind is cross-onshore from the SW at 15 mph, making it messy and chopped. Poor conditions.
After that, it fades fast. By Friday 7th August morning the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 0.3 ft with a 5-second period and energy of 3. You could sit out there on a flat day, but you’re not surfing.
The whole stretch is a bust. No standout breaks, no clean rideable waves. It’s just one of those periods where the surf has gone on holiday. Forecasts can always flip, but right now, I’d find something else to do.

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.
