The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. I've been through the numbers for Terry's Cove, and the news is flat. There's absolutely no surf to speak of in this 16-day outlook. The biggest bit of energy we see is a 55 (combined energy of all swells directed here) on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd, but that's still just 0.9m of weak, short-period SW windswell, and the wind is messy. This sandbar loves a solid SSE swell, but we're not getting any.
The whole forecast is a bummer. Tiny waves, poor conditions. The first week is a mix of cross, cross-off, and onshore winds, with some thunderstorms to boot. The second week is even smaller, with a few glassy mornings that are flat as a pancake. The water is about average for the time of year, so no temperature surprises.
This spot is usually fairly consistent, but it's totally shut down right now. Don't even think about it. These blank runs happen around here, and forecasts can always flip, but for now, it's a no-go. Keep the wax in the wrapper.

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.

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.
