The Lowdown
Well, grab a seat, 'cause I gotta be straight with you. We're looking at a pretty flat stretch ahead for Terry’s Cove. The next 16 days are basically a write-off for any real waves. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it.
The good news is the water’s warm, sittin’ at 86°F with no crazy anomaly, so it’s about normal for this time of year. But that’s where the positives end. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but knee-high slop and onshore junk. From Tuesday the 4th all the way through to at least the 19th, the swell stays tiny, mostly around 0.3ft to 2ft, with periods that are all over the place but rarely offering any punch. The energy is just weak – you’re looking at combined energy values in the single digits and low teens, hitting a peak of just 28 on the morning of the 8th, which is still nothing to write home about.
The wind is the real kicker. It’s mostly cross-on or straight onshore, chopping up whatever slop is there. There are a few brief moments of cleaner conditions, like the mornings of the 16th and 17th with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is just too pathetic to make it worth the paddle. It’s a sandbar break, fairly consistent, but when it’s this small, it’s just a mess. Honestly, with that onshore wind and tiny surf, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddler.
There’s no standout day, no hidden gem in the second week. It’s just a flat, frustrating run. The odd clean morning might give you a glassy ankle-snapper, but that’s about it. Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just forgets to show up. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, it’s a whole lotta nothin’.
Rusty, signing off.
