Alright, this is Rusty, checking in with the local outlook.
Well, truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Terry’s Cove. Looking over the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing really firing. We’ve got a long run of tiny, weak swells and the wind just isn’t playing ball for clean, fun waves. You’re looking at a real dry spell here.
Kicking off Saturday the 11th, it’s a no-go with a tiny 2ft SSE swell and a cross-onshore breeze making a mess of things. The combined energy is barely a whisper at (31), so don’t even bother.
Sunday the 12th morning cleans up with a light offshore, but the swell drops to a pathetic 1ft. The energy is even weaker at (15). It’s pretty, but there’s nothing to ride. The rest of that week is more of the same—tiny bumps and messy winds. Monday the 13th through to Tuesday the 21st is essentially a write-off. We see wave heights ranging from 0.3ft to 3ft, but the period is often short and the wind is either cross or cross-on, creating chop. The energy levels are in the single digits, or low teens at best (38). It’s all "poor surf conditions" across the board.
For the remainder of the month into late July, it doesn’t get much better. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd have a bit of a pulse, but fresh cross-shore winds up to 19 mph ruin any chance of it being clean. The energy sticks to low double digits. The swell is so small and weak that this setup honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than for a paddle surfer given the persistent cross-shore wind.
So, there’s no standout day here. No best on offer. This is just one of those periods where the ocean goes to sleep. It rarely gets this consistently poor for this long, so hang in there—the forecasts can change.
