Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this outlook for Terry’s Cove is a tough one. Looking over the next couple of weeks, there’s just about nothing on the cards for a proper surf. The finder’s showing a big fat zero for surf recommendations right through to the end of the period. The whole 16-day stretch is a blank run, with only tiny, weak swells and messy winds making it a no-go for any kind of decent wave.
At Terry’s Cove, a sandbar setup that’s exposed and picks up swell from the SSE, we’re looking at combined wave energy dribbling in with two-digit values, mostly between 1 and 30 (weak), so no real punch. The water temp is sitting at 88°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—so at least the water feels nice for a dip, just not for surfing.
From Monday the 6th right through to the end of the window, it’s just day after day of tiny surf—mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft. Short period swells, mostly 2 to 6 seconds, so no power behind them. Winds are all over the place: cross-shore, cross-on, sometimes onshore, with some glassy moments on the 21st, but even then the swell is only 1.0 ft. There are a few mornings with clean conditions and light offshore winds—like on the 14th, 17th, 18th, and 19th—but the wave height barely pushes 2 ft or 2 ft. The 19th shows the biggest of the bunch: 2 ft from the SW, with a gentle offshore from the NNW, and clean conditions. That’s the closest we get to anything worth paddling for, but even that’s weak (combined energy of 22 to 25). Still, if you’re a beginner or just desperate to get wet, that Sunday morning the 19th might offer a few crumbly little rollers.
Honestly, this is a spot that tends to have quiet runs like this—it’s normal for the area when the swell window goes quiet. No standout days here, no real gems. If you’re into kiting, this kind of weak, messy surf with cross-shore wind might actually be more your thing, because for a surfer, it’s slim pickings.
Hang in there though—forecasts can change, and it can’t stay flat forever.
Rusty.
