The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Turtle Cove over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a pretty flat and ordinary run for the most part. The first real surfable window doesn’t really kick off until this Sunday afternoon, the 19th of July. That’s a bit of a wait. We’ve got a few days with nothing good to recommend before that, and then a lot of marginal stuff in between. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t forget the booties if you’re heading out.

The standout, and I mean the *only* real standout, comes mid-week. On Wednesday morning, the 22nd of July, we’ve got a solid SSW swell pushing in at 10 ft with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving around, with a combined energy of 2022 – that’s strong stuff. The wind is offshore from the SW at 19 mph, keeping it clean. This is big, powerful reef and point surf. It’s not for beginners; at over 8 ft, this is expert territory only. The swell is coming from the SSW, which is a little off the optimum SE direction, but with that much energy and offshore wind, it’ll still be a ripper for the crew who know what they’re doing. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so you can expect a few sets.

The afternoon of the same day, Wednesday the 22nd, is still decent with a 8 ft swell from the S, and the wind staying offshore from the W at 16 mph. That’s still a good wave but a step down in size. The energy is still high at 865. Again, experienced surfers only.

After that, it drops back into the doldrums. Thursday through the weekend is mostly onshore junk, small swell, and poor conditions. There’s a tiny window on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July with a gentle offshore from the WNW and small 3 ft swell from the SE, but it’s barely worth a paddle. The rest of the run into the first week of August is flat, with weak energy and crummy winds. The spot can be inconsistent, and this is one of those times.

Bottom line: if you’ve got the skills and the courage, hit the Wednesday morning of the 22nd of July. Otherwise, it’s a stay-at-home and watch the cams kind of fortnight.

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.
