Alright folks, Rusty here with the straight talk.

We’re looking at a long dry spell. Nearly two weeks of barely anything worth paddling out for at Terry's Cove. The first decent day doesn’t show up until later, so there’s a big gap of several days with no recommendations.

The one to circle on your calendar is Sunday, July 19th. Terry's Cove sees a small bump – a 3ft swell from the SW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is 37, so it’s weak, but here’s the kicker: the wind swings offshore from the WNW, light, so the surface will be glassy clean. That’s your best bet. The wave direction isn’t dead-on the optimum, but with that clean face, you’ll find a few fun ones if you’re patient. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so it’s not going to be scary. Crowds are possible, so expect some company.

Before that, it’s flat city. From now through mid-July, swell heights are all under 2ft, period is short (3-6 seconds), and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, chopping up what little there is. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 12th, but the swell is barely 1ft. Nothing doing.

After the 19th, it fades again. Monday the 20th has a clean 2ft SW swell with light NE wind, but the energy is low (19). By Tuesday and Wednesday it’s back under 2ft with messy wind.

So, if you can only surf one day, make it the morning of Sunday the 19th. The rest of the forecast is a write-off.

Rusty.

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.
