Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got for Turtle Cove over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty quiet spell for a while. The forecast shows a real drought of any decent waves for the first week and a half, so don’t bother paddling out until things shift.
We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions starting from Tuesday the 7th of July all the way through to Friday the 17th. Most days are either tiny, onshore, or both. The 8th of July brings a bit of swell to 5ft from the ENE but it’s crossed up with a light cross-onshore and it’s only a marginal call at best. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is pretty much right where it should be for this time of year – nothing weird going on there. The swell energy on the 8th morning is moderate at best (476), but that short period of 7 seconds means it’s just not going to shape up nicely. Wind flips cross-off in the arvo but the swell drops straight off to 3ft. It’s a write-off, really.
We finally see a glimmer of hope on Saturday the 18th of July. The morning brings a proper jump in swell – 7ft from the south with a moderate 9-second period. That’s enough to get some power in the water, with energy jumping to a solid 593. The wind is light offshore from the WSW, which will keep things clean. This is a reef and point set-up, so a moderate south swell with light offshores has potential for some lined-up waves. Keep in mind though, at 7ft it’s getting into the territory where it might be a bit much for beginners. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore wind and an 8ft south-southwest swell, which bumps the energy right up to 957 – that’s strong, but the cross-chop will make it tough. That morning session on the 18th is your standout.
Then on Sunday the 19th of July, we get a repeat performance. Another 6ft south swell, period bumping up to 10 seconds, and clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW in the morning. Energy is high again at 661. This one is also a contender for the best of the bunch – same clean lines, same solid push. The arvo keeps the clean face but picks up a stronger cross-off, so it’s not quite as ideal.
After that little window, it starts to fade fast. Monday the 20th still has some size, around 5ft to 6ft, but the winds turn more onshore and the conditions slip into marginal. By Tuesday the 21st we’re back to tiny glassy slop.
So there you have it. The only real run of surf is that Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th. Hold out for that. Everything before that is a solid no-go. It’s a long quiet spell, but when the south swell lights up at Turtle Cove, it can be worth the wait.
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.
