The Lowdown
Alright, Terry’s Cove. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, mate, it’s a grim stretch. We’re looking at a long run of flat, tiny, or just plain messy conditions. The first real chance to even get the board wet doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday the 12th, and even then, it’s not great. That’s a solid week of nothing worthwhile from the start of the forecast.
The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 86°, but that’s the only highlight.
For the first week, from Thursday the 3rd right through to Friday the 11th, it’s all poor surf. Just tiny dribbles of swell, almost all under 1ft, with short periods of 3 to 5 seconds. The wind is a mess – onshore, cross-onshore, or just cross – and the wave energy is basically non-existent, often just 1 or 2 (combined energy). We get a little glassy morning on Thursday the 10th with 1.0ft of SE swell, but it’s still too small to get excited about.
The only glimmer of something comes on Saturday the 12th afternoon. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds and a combined energy of 142 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook. But the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the SW, which will chop it up. It’s not clean, but it’s the only time there’s enough water to actually paddle into something.
The next morning, Sunday the 13th, is cleaner – a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW with 3ft of ESE swell – but the energy drops to 87 (weak). That’s surfable, but very ordinary. The score is a 1 out of 10, so you know it’s just a grovel session.
After that, from the 14th right through to the 18th, it’s back to tiny, poor surf with no energy. The wind is either cross-on or cross, and the swell is down to 1.0ft or less.
The standout, if you can even call it that, is the Saturday afternoon the 12th. That’s the only time the swell is over 3 feet at Terry’s Cove. But with the cross-shore wind, it’s going to be a messy, choppy affair. The morning of the 13th offers the cleanest waves, but they’re small. For a beginner-friendly sandbar, the 4ft on the 12th might be a bit much for total beginners, but it’s the only real option.
There’s just nothing good on offer here over the whole 16 days. It’s a write-off.
