The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I’ll keep it in feet and miles per hour for ya. This 16-day stretch from September 2nd is a total flat spell at Terry’s Cove – not a single surfable wave in the window.
First week’s dead. Starting Wednesday the 2nd through Tuesday the 8th, waves are barely a ripple – 0.3ft to 1ft tops, with combined swell energy stuck between 1 and 5. That’s weak sauce. Swell’s dribbling in from the SE, switching to SSW and SW, with periods as short as 3 to 5 seconds. Winds are messy – cross, onshore, a few offshores – but it doesn’t matter ’cause there’s no real swell to work. Water’s 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual – feels like bath water.
Second week’s no different. From Wednesday the 9th to Wednesday the 16th, it’s tiny dribbles again – 0.3ft to 1ft, energy in the dumps (1 to 16). A few mornings are glassy, like the 10th and 11th, but there’s just no wave to catch. Thursday the 17th sees energy nudge up to 16 with 1ft from the SE (5-second period), but it’s still a “poor” call. This whole setup is more for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rare quiet run – but a blank like this is more normal here when the swell gods take a holiday. Hang tight, forecasts change. Rusty.

The above surf forecast table for Terry s Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Terry s Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Terry s Cove surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Terry s Cove) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
