The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Terry's Cove over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I've got to be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. We're looking at a long stretch of tiny, gutless waves with no real energy behind them. The swell is almost non-existent, and what's there is just not going to produce anything worth paddling out for. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
The first real sniff of anything comes on July 21st, Tuesday afternoon, where we might see a tiny bump of 2ft from the WSW, but the period is a shocking 3 seconds – that's just wind chop. The wind will be cross-onshore, making it a choppy mess. It's still a "poor surf conditions" call.
The only other moment that maybe gets a pulse going is July 25th, Saturday morning. There's a bit more juice with 2ft from the SSW, but it's still a short 4-second period. The energy is weak, only registering 12 on the combined scale. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NW, which is about the only saving grace, keeping the surface clean. But for a 2ft wave with that little period, it's barely a ride.
The water temperature is a standout, though. At 88°F, that's a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. You'll be surfing in a bath, even if there's nothing to surf.
For the rest of the period, it's flat or close to it. Swell heights are mostly under 1ft, and the energy is in the single digits or zero. This is just a normal, quiet run for this area. Don't hold your breath.
Rusty, signing off.
