The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the lowdown for Terry’s Cove.
Buddy, it is a flat spell. Looking at the whole 16 days in front of us, from now right through to August 13th, there is absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. Every single forecast period is "poor surf conditions." That’s a long stretch of nothing. The wave energy numbers are pathetic, mostly single-digit (1 to 38), meaning there’s just no power. Swell heights are tiny – barely cracking 3 ft, and most of the time they’re sitting under 2 ft. The periods are short, 3 to 6 seconds, so it’s just weak, wind-affected junk.
Even when the wind lays down, like on the morning of August 2nd with glassy conditions, the swell is still only 2 ft and the energy is a weak 20. Same story on August 9th, another glassy morning but the swell is a miserable 0.3 ft. No guts. A few afternoons show a little more size, like the 3 ft on August 3rd and 4th, but that’s still tiny and the cross to cross-onshore winds, blowing in the 12 to 19 mph range, just chop it all up.
At Terry’s Cove, it’s a typical mid-summer lull. The water is a warm 86°, a touch above the seasonal average, but that doesn't help the waves. Even the light offshore breezes we get from the NNW and WNW can’t make something out of nothing. There are no standout days. If you just want to float around, the morning of August 2nd or August 9th with glassy water and tiny waves might be okay for a swim, but there’s no rideable swell.
Don't let it get you down too much, forecasts can shift and things can turn around.
This is Rusty, out.
