Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Howdy, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s brewing at Turtle Cove over the next couple of weeks. Truth is, it’s a tough run for paddle surfing – strong onshore winds and sloppy conditions are the main story. There are a few moments when the ocean calms down enough for a little session, but nothing that’s going to get your heart racing.
The forecast kicks off Monday July 6th with a raw easterly wind blowing 30 km/h, whipping up a short, weak 4ft ESE swell. The combined energy is a measly 63, and with rain about, it’s not worth wetting a wetsuit. That onshore breeze sticks through Tuesday, and by Wednesday morning you’ve got a 4ft ENE swell with a moderate cross-onshore wind, leaving things choppy and ordinary. The only bright spot shows up Wednesday afternoon – a light SSW breeze of 10 km/h turns cross-offshore, cleaning up a 3ft E swell. The combined energy hits only 104, so it’s small, but the clean surface means you could bob around on a longboard and enjoy the quiet. Still, very ordinary.
Thursday and Friday see the swell drop to around 2ft or less, and while Friday morning brings a gentle offshore wind from the west with clean 2ft swell, the energy is only 70 – tiny waves for a soft top session. The rest of the first week stays blown out or cross-onshore. Water temp is 68°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
Into the second week, Monday July 13th lifts the swell to 6ft from the east with a combined energy of 272 – moderate energy – but an onshore wind of 30 km/h kills any quality. Tuesday the 14th stays messy. Wednesday afternoon on the 15th offers a glimmer: a clean 6ft southwest swell with a cross-offshore wind and moderate energy of 250. Still ordinary, but cleaner. By Thursday and Friday the 16th and 17th, the winds go glassy and offshore, with tiny 3ft to 3ft SSW swells and combined energy around 108–116. These are the best moments in the whole outlook – clean, quiet, perfect for a dawn session on a foamie, but far from any sort of standout. The swell direction matches what Turtle Cove likes, so the wave shape should be decent.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this 16-day window. The constant onshore winds and short-period swell make this spot look more interesting for a kite board than a surfboard for most of it. If you’re keen, aim for that glassy Friday morning on July 17th – clean, tiny, and peaceful.
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.
