The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up.
Well, to be honest, it’s a pretty quiet start. The first week and a bit is a tough slog for surfers at Terry’s Cove. We’ve got a stretch from the 13th through to the 25th of September where the swell is just too weak to get excited about. Most days the combined energy is sitting under 100, and that’s just not enough push for a proper ride. There’s a bit of movement on the 22nd and 24th, but it’s still small and ordinary.
The real standout is shaping up for the morning of Sunday, 27th September. That’s where it all comes together. We’re looking at a solid 8ft swell rolling in from the SE, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 848, so there’s plenty of grunt in the water. The wind is a light offshore from the NNE, meaning clean, lined-up waves. This is proper stuff, but at that size it’s strictly for the experienced crew – the beginners should sit this one out.
The morning after, Monday the 28th, is also worth a mention. The swell drops back to a more manageable 6ft from the SSE, but the wind goes clean offshore from the NNW. The energy is down to 336, but it’ll still be a fun session for those who can get out.
As for the water temperature, it’s about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
In between those sessions, the afternoons tend to get a bit choppy with onshore breezes, so stick to the mornings if you can.
So, to wrap it up: the waiting game is on until the 27th, but that Sunday morning looks like the one to circle. Promising, but keep an eye on the forecasts as we get closer.
Rusty.

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.

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.
