Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break this down for you in feet and degrees Fahrenheit.
Right off the bat, the next few days are flat. No surf to speak of on Saturday the 4th or Sunday the 5th. The swell is ankle-high and the wind is all wrong.
Monday the 6th shows a jump in size, but the wind is screaming onshore from the ESE at 25 mph. The wave energy is moderate (186) but it’s all blown out and lumpy. Not for paddle surfing.
Tuesday the 7th might be your best early bet. We get glassy conditions in the morning with 4ft swell from the ESE. The combined energy is moderate (158). It’s rideable, but only just. The water temp is 66°, a little cooler than normal for the season.
The rest of that week is small – 2-3ft max, with clean but weak conditions. You’ll be on a log if you bother.
Now, the one to wait for is Saturday the 18th. The afternoon looks good: 5ft swell from the SSW, combined energy of 225 (strong), and a light offshore breeze from the WNW. That’s clean and has some grunt. The period is short (7 seconds), so it won’t be the most lined-up, but at Turtle Cove, a reef and point break, it should be workable. This is the standout of the whole forecast. Crowds are possible, but not guaranteed.
Sunday the 19th has glassy conditions again with 4ft swell, but it’s just ordinary.
Bottom line: wait for that Saturday the 18th. Don’t bother before then. The forecast is lean, but that one window looks promising.
Rusty.

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.
