The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Terry’s Cove in feet and miles per hour.
We’re looking at a real tough stretch to start. From Thursday the 10th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd, it’s mostly flat. The water’s at about 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you’ll be doing more sitting on the beach than surfing.
Swells are tiny, mostly under 2ft, with weak combined energy (6) and the wind’s all over the place – onshore, cross-onshore. There’s a glassy patch on the morning of the 14th and again on the 15th, but the waves are barely a ripple (0.3ft to 0.7ft). Not worth suiting up.
Things get a little interesting on Wednesday the 23rd morning. The wind turns clean and cross-off from the NNE, and we finally see a 3ft swell from the SE. Period’s short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be choppy and weak, but the combined energy climbs to 93. It’s still very average, but it’s your best bet.
The standout window is the morning of Wednesday the 23rd. That’s where we get 3ft from the SE with clean conditions. It’s not a classic by any means, but it’s the only time in the whole 16 days that’s even worth mentioning for a paddle.
The rest of the run stays poor. There’s a slight bump to 3ft on the 22nd with cross-off wind, but the energy is still low (34-39). The morning of the 24th is glassy with 3ft, but again, it’s weak.
So here’s the deal: the first week and a half is dead, and the only real chance is the 23rd morning. Terry’s Cove is a sandbar break that’s fairly consistent, but when it’s this flat, it doesn’t matter. You might have the place to yourself, but that’s because there’s nothing to ride.
Rusty.
