Right then, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what we’ve got on the cards for Turtle Cove.

The next couple of weeks are going to be a mixed bag, to be honest. We’re kicking off with a bit of a slow start. The first proper action we see is on Friday the 3rd, but even then, it’s small and ordinary. The real standout window is the weekend of the 11th of July, which brings a genuine pulse of energy.

Let’s break it down.

Thursday the 2nd is a write-off. There’s a bit of swell early on but the wind is up and the sea is messy.

Friday the 3rd morning offers a glimmer. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a gentle offshore breeze blowing from the West. The wave energy is weak (69), but it’s the best we’ve seen for a few days. The afternoon turns ugly again.

Saturday the 4th is a non-event. Tiny 1ft pulses and messy winds.

Sunday the 5th through to Wednesday the 8th is a bit of a flat spell. There’s some swell showing up on the charts on the Wednesday afternoon, a 4ft SE swell at 7 seconds, and the wind goes glassy as a clean slate. The conditions will be clean, but the short period means it’ll be a bit soft and lacking punch. The water temperature is 65°, which is a bit colder than average for the time of year.

Now, Saturday the 11th of July is where it gets interesting. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the SSW, and it’s been building energy all week. The combined swell energy is 1149 – that’s strong to very strong energy. The morning glass comes with a moderate offshore from the WNW, so the waves at this reef and point setup will be clean and powerful. This is proper groundswell territory for experienced surfers only – this size is for the crew who know what they’re doing. It’s a standout. The afternoon winds shift and it gets a bit dodgier.

Sunday the 12th drops off quickly. Back to small 3ft stuff with glassy conditions in the morning.

Monday the 13th is another glassy small day.

Tuesday the 14th is a hard pass. Strong onshore winds and lumpy sea.

Wednesday the 15th brings a second window. The morning shows a clean 6ft swell from the SSW with a light offshore from the West. The wave energy is solid (708) and conditions look very good. This is a good option for intermediate and above, but keep an eye on the tide for this break. The swell period is short though (7 seconds), so you won’t get the same grunt as the 11th.

Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th look smaller, with clean morning conditions but nothing to write home about.

The Best Bet: Without a doubt, Saturday the 11th of July is the standout. Get on it early. It’s strong, it’s clean, and it’s the best energy we see in the whole outlook. The 15th is your backup if you missed it.

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.

Turtle Cove is 34 km (21 miles) from Westerly. If you plan a vacation in Long Island New York, look for hotels and other accommodation in Westerly. Westerly has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
