The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Terry’s Cove are a tough watch. We’ve got a solid 16-day window but the start is a real dud. The swell just isn’t showing up. The first six days are a total write-off – Monday the 7th through to Saturday the 12th – with flat, poor conditions. The water’s sitting around 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only highlight.
Come Sunday the 13th, we get a tiny whisper of hope. There’s a glassy morning with a little 0.3ft bump from the SSE, but the combined energy is just a measly 1 (weak). It’s barely a ripple. That sets the tone for the week. Monday the 14th offers a 0.7ft SSE swell with a combined energy of 2 (weak) and onshore winds – not worth the paddle. Tuesday the 15th morning is another glassy start, again with 1ft from the SSE, combined energy at 6 (weak). It’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride.
The best of a bad bunch might be Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th. On Friday morning, we get a clean, cross-off wind from the NNE with a 0.3ft S swell – combined energy is only 1 (weak). Saturday morning the 19th picks up slightly with a 1ft SW swell and clean, cross-off winds from the NNE, combined energy at 3 (weak). It’s small, it’s weak, and it’s not going to blow anyone’s mind.
As we move into the second week, the pattern doesn’t change much. The swell stays tiny and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, keeping things choppy. The last entry on Tuesday the 22nd afternoon shows a 3ft ESE swell, but with cross-onshore winds at 12 mph, it’s still poor surf conditions. This is a true flat spell. The spot is a sandbar that’s fairly consistent, but when there’s no swell, it doesn’t matter. Don’t hold your breath – it’s going to take a big change in the weather to get any action here.
Rusty.

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.
