Table - best surf conditions forecast for Terry s Cove over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Terry’s Cove over the next 16 days. I’ll be honest, it’s been a rough stretch. For the first week and a half, from the 9th to the 19th of July, it’s mostly flat or tiny, gutless slop. We’re talking ankle-high waves with a lot of cross-onshore wind messing things up, or straight up flat spells. There are gaps of a couple days with no surf at all, like around the 16th and 17th. It’s a tough run.
The water temperature is a notable 31°, which is over 2° warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll be comfortable in just boardies.
The first real chance to surf comes on Monday the 20th in the morning. We’ve got a 1.0m swell from the southwest, but it’s short period at 5 seconds, so it’s a bit weak and crumbly. The plus side is the wind – it’s clean, glassy, cross-offshore from the west-southwest. The combined energy is only 59 (weak), so it’s not a big day, but for a spot that’s been flat, this is your best bet. It’s a sandbar break, fairly consistent, and with the offshore wind, it’ll be smooth. Crowds can be a problem sometimes, so get in early. This size is perfect for beginners.
The 22nd brings a little more size – 1.4m from the southwest on Wednesday morning, with combined energy at 132 (moderate). That’s a bit more push, but the wind is cross-shore, which will add some chop. It’s surfable, but not as clean as the 20th. The period is still short at 6 seconds, so the waves will be a bit sectiony.
After that, it fades out again. The 23rd morning has a clean 0.6m with offshore wind, but it’s tiny. The rest of the forecast looks like more small, onshore junk.
If you’re picking one day, it’s Monday morning, 20th July. Clean conditions and a little bit of waist-high swell make it the best of a quiet period. It’s a day to get wet, not a day to charge.
