Alright, this is Rusty.
Let’s be real – the next couple of weeks at Turtle Cove look quiet. This reef and point setup loves a good southeast swell with west wind to clean it up, and we just aren’t seeing that combo.
There’s a long gap after today. The first week of July stays small or messy. The biggest push is on Tuesday the 7th with a 1.8m east-northeast swell, but that’s getting hammered by a strong 45 km/h north-northeast cross-onshore wind. That’s kite-surf territory, not paddle.
Wednesday the 8th morning is glassy – dead calm – with a 1.2m east swell, period 8 seconds, and combined energy moderate at 179. But it’s still just ordinary.
The first real offshore wind appears on the morning of Thursday the 10th: a light 10 km/h west offshore over a tiny 0.6m south swell. Period only 6 seconds, energy weak at 42. Not much to work with.
The one to circle is Monday the 20th of July – that’s nearly two weeks out, so keep an eye on it. That morning brings clean 1.2m south-southeast swell, 9-second period, light southwest cross-offshore breeze, and moderate energy at 261. It’s the only session marked up as good waves. The afternoon holds clean but drops off.
Before that, the only other clean glassy moment is Sunday the 19th morning – flat calm wind over a tiny 0.8m south-southeast swell, energy at 128. It’s clean but weak.
Water temp at the start is 20°C – nothing unusual, normal for the season.
So here’s the call: the clear standout is the morning of Monday 20th July at Turtle Cove. Clean cross-offshore wind, 1.2m south-southeast swell, and moderate energy. If you can wait for that session, it’s the best of the run.
Rusty out.

Information about the Turtle Cove Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Turtle Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Turtle Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Turtle 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 (Turtle 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 Turtle 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.
