The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you, it's a tough stretch ahead. We're looking at a full 16-day window, and honestly, for Terry-s-Cove, the surf's pretty much a no-show. The entire run is a blank.
Right from the start, Monday afternoon the 10th of August, the water's a warm 86.5°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. But that's the only nice thing I can say. The swell's puny at 0.7ft from the SSE, with a combined energy reading of just (1), and the south wind is straight onshore. It's a frustrating start. That sets the tone for the whole outlook.
Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are more of the same, with tiny waves and cross-shore winds making a mess of things. We get a little reprieve on Thursday the 13th morning with a clean, cross-offshore wind from the west, but the swell is still only 1.3ft. It's barely enough to paddle for.
There are a couple of moments that look glassy—like Saturday morning the 15th is clean with a light offshore, but there's zero swell energy (0). Sunday morning the 16th has a clean offshore wind, but again, the swell is only 0.3ft. It's all tease and no payout.
The best chance for anything rideable might be Tuesday the 18th. The morning is clean, with a cross-offshore breeze from the west and a touch of energy (7) from a tiny 0.7ft SSE swell. But we're talking about ankle-snappers at best. This is a beginner-friendly sandbar, but even beginners need something to push them. While there's a chance of a crowd here, it won't matter—nobody's going to be out for this.
Later on, near the end of the period, we see another glassy morning on the 23rd of August with a light easterly. The swell is still only 1.0ft. It's consistent in its inconsistency, I’ll give it that. But for a solid 16 days, the story is the same: what little swell shows up has poor quality. For the area, this kind of flat run isn't unheard of.
Hang in there, but don't hold your breath for this one.
