The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Honestly, mate, this is a pretty bleak stretch for Terry's Cove. The next 16 days are basically a write-off for any proper surfing. The total wave energy barely registers a pulse, with the highest combined energy on the 29th of August hitting only 12, which is nothing to get excited about. For the first ten days, there's just nothing happening. We're talking a flat spell.
The only tiny flicker of something surfable comes on the 29th of August. Through the morning, we see a little pulse of 1ft from the SSE, and the wind swings offshore from the NNW. It’s clean, but the swell height is tiny. The afternoon improves slightly to 2ft from the SE, still with a clean offshore breeze from the NNW. The period is a short 4 seconds though, so it'll be weak and wobblely. This is a beginner-only kind of day, and that's being generous.
The water temp is sitting at 87°F, a touch warmer than average for this time of year. The breaks here are sandbars and are fairly consistent, but when the swell is this small, consistency means flat.
If you’re into kiting, even that’s a stretch with the winds we have. There's simply no decent swell on the cards. It’s one of those runs where the forecast needs to change in a big way to get any hope. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, that board is staying in the car.
Rusty.
