The Lowdown
Alright buddy, grab your stick and listen up.
Timber Cove is looking pretty grim for the next week and a half. From the 30th of August through the 11th of September, it’s a long, flat, frustrating stretch. Mostly small, ripply, cross-onshore junk with pathetic wave energy, sometimes barely registering (20-95 range). A couple of glassy mornings pop up around the 8th and 9th of September, but with the swell only at 1ft, it’s flat and ordinary.
Then comes the one real highlight. On the 12th of September, Saturday morning, we get a clean 6ft swell out of the WNW with glassy conditions (light offshore breeze). The energy is solid (816), and that wind will make the faces smooth. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and crumbly, not that long, grinding groundswell. At 6ft, it’s got some push – not for groms just learning to stand up, but for any half-decent surfer it’s a fun little window. After that, Sunday the 13th drops right back to small and sloppy.
If you only get one session in the next two weeks, make it Saturday the 12th morning. The rest is a whole lot of nothing, but hey, the ocean can always surprise you.
Rusty.

Information about the Timber Cove Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Timber Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Timber Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Timber 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. If you surf the same spot (Timber Cove) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Timber 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
