The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've scanned the charts for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you—it's a shocker. We're lookin' at a solid 16-day stretch with barely a breath of real swell and just about every session tagged as "poor surf conditions." There's a gap from the start right through to the 1st of September where the swell is basically non-existent or woefully small, so don't bother paddling out until then.
From the morning of the 1st of September, we finally see a tiny pulse, but it's nothin' to write home about. Terry's Cove (a sandbar setup) is your only option, and it's beggin' for mercy. The standout—if you can call it that—is the afternoon of the 1st of September. We get a 2 ft swell from the SE with a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is a measly 16, so it's weak. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it's gonna be fairly choppy. Not exactly firing.
The next morning, the 2nd of September, has a bit of glassy wind with a 1 ft SE swell, period 5 seconds, and combined energy of 4. It's clean, but barely a ripple. Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, has a 0.3 ft SE swell with a 4-second period and combined energy of 1, with a light cross-offshore breeze keepin' it clean. Honestly, none of this is worth the rubber. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no fun surprises there.
This spot is fairly consistent, so it's a bit of a bummer, but sometimes these flat spells happen. It's more of a kite-surfing setup with these tiny, weak waves and onshore winds, if you're into that. Otherwise, keep the board in the car and wait for a better run.
Rusty.

Information about the Terry s Cove Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Terry s Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Terry s Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Terry s Cove surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Terry s Cove may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
