Alright folks, Rusty here with the straight talk.
We’re looking at a long dry spell. Nearly two weeks of barely anything worth paddling out for at Terry's Cove. The first decent day doesn’t show up until later, so there’s a big gap of several days with no recommendations.
The one to circle on your calendar is Sunday, July 19th. Terry's Cove sees a small bump – a 3ft swell from the SW, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is 37, so it’s weak, but here’s the kicker: the wind swings offshore from the WNW, light, so the surface will be glassy clean. That’s your best bet. The wave direction isn’t dead-on the optimum, but with that clean face, you’ll find a few fun ones if you’re patient. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so it’s not going to be scary. Crowds are possible, so expect some company.
Before that, it’s flat city. From now through mid-July, swell heights are all under 2ft, period is short (3-6 seconds), and the wind is mostly cross or onshore, chopping up what little there is. There’s a glassy morning on Saturday the 12th, but the swell is barely 1ft. Nothing doing.
After the 19th, it fades again. Monday the 20th has a clean 2ft SW swell with light NE wind, but the energy is low (19). By Tuesday and Wednesday it’s back under 2ft with messy wind.
So, if you can only surf one day, make it the morning of Sunday the 19th. The rest of the forecast is a write-off.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Terry s Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
