The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a read of what's in store for this stretch. It's a pretty quiet picture.
The energy just isn't here for this 16-day window. Right from the start, it's flat and stays flat for a long spell. The first real read on the board isn't until Wednesday the 16th, and even then it's not much to shout about. Count on a gap of several days with no real surf recommendations.
Terry's Cove is the only spot showing any pulse, but honestly, it's a grind. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
From Wednesday the 16th through to the 27th there's a faint bit of life, but it's never good surf. The best looking session is Thursday the 17th afternoon – we get a glassy 2ft wave from the SE with a 6-second period. The combined swell energy is only 32 – that's weak. For a sandbar setup, that short period means the waves will be a bit fat and soft. It's clean, but tiny and lacking punch.
The only other half-decent window is Thursday the 24th morning with a light offshore from the NW and a 1ft S swell. Again, tiny, but it will be clean. The surf quality is just poor across the board, so keep hopes low. The combined energy never really gets past moderate (46 is the highest, on Wednesday the 16th afternoon), and with mostly cross and onshore winds, it’s not going to be pretty for a paddle. For most of this, it looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard.
Overall, it's a lean stretch. Bide your time.
Rusty.

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).
