The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me break down what we're looking at for the next couple of weeks.
I gotta be straight with you – it's a long, quiet stretch. The first day with anything to paddle out for is Tuesday, September 8, and even then, it's a struggle.
We kick off with a weak 2.3ft ESE swell. The wind is cross-on, making it choppy. The combined energy is a low 17, so there's not much push. Water temp is 30.3°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you'll stay warm while you're waiting.
We've only got one spot to talk about: Terry's Cove. It's a sandbar spot that's fairly consistent, but with tiny swells and onshore winds, it's going to be small and messy. The best-looking conditions are on the morning of September 15, when we get glassy conditions. The swell is only 0.7ft, but with no wind, it'll be clean. The energy is still tiny at 4, so don't expect much.
The whole 16-day forecast is filled with poor surf – cross-onshore winds, tiny swell, and very weak wave energy. The combined energy never gets above 17, so this is a period for fixing dings or maybe a longboard if you're desperate. There's a slight bump in energy around September 22 with a 1.6ft ENE swell and combined energy of 13-14, but the wind is howling cross-shore at 15.5 mph. That's more of a kite-surfing setup.
Honestly, the standout is the morning of September 15 for clean conditions, but it's not a standout for size. If you're a beginner, the tiny size is safe, but the quality just isn't there.
Stay patient. It'll turn.

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.
