The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Turtle Cove over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, I'll be straight with you. This forecast is a tough one for us. The next week and a half are looking pretty bleak, with a lot of small, wind-affected surf. The real bright spot, and the only time I'd really bother paddling out, is a standout window on Thursday, July 30th. The water temperature is sitting about average for the time of year, so nothing to complain about there.
The first chance we get is Thursday morning, July 30th. Turtle Cove (Turtle-Cove) is a reef and point setup, and it's the only show in town. Early on Thursday, we've got a 4ft swell from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, so it's a groundswell, building some decent shape. The combined energy is moderate at 239 and the real kicker is a light offshore wind from the west. That will put a clean face on the waves, making it rideable for the intermediate crew. The swell is a little under 5ft, so it's manageable for most. It's a fairly consistent spot, so you can expect a few waves. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might see a few others in the water.
Unfortunately, things fall apart after that. The wind shifts and the swell drops. The next morning, Friday, August 1st, is early our time, we get a glassy morning with a 3ft SSE swell, but the energy is weaker (139) and the conditions are described as "very ordinary." It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about. There's a similar window on Tuesday morning, August 5th, with another glassy morning and a 2ft S swell, but again, very weak and ordinary.
From the afternoon of August 1st through to the end of the forecast, it's a long stretch of small, weak, and often choppy surf. The wind is mostly cross or onshore, and the swell rarely gets above 3ft. The combined energy values are mostly in the double digits, which is weak. The only hope is that the forecast might change, but as it stands, this is a period for fixing dings and tuning up the gear. The best and really only true standout is Thursday morning, July 30th.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
