The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Turtle Cove. We’ve got a stretch ahead with a few windows of cleaner surf, but the overall energy isn’t massive. The water here is sitting at 19.1°, which is much colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent wetsuit.
The first worthwhile session kicks off Wednesday morning, July 22. We’ve got a solid 2.0m (6.6ft) swell out of the south with a period of 8 seconds, and while the wind is a cross-off from the southwest, it’s a fresh breeze at 35 km/h (21.7 mph). The combined energy is moderate at 533, and the waves are coming through clean. This swell size is fine for experienced intermediates, but it’s right at the top end for beginners. The afternoon is a bit more manageable with lighter winds of 20 km/h (12.4 mph) and a similar 2.0m (6.6ft) south swell, now at 9 seconds, bumping the energy to 586. Both sessions are tidy.
Thursday morning, July 23, won’t be the best – the wind swings onshore and the swell drops to 1.4m (4.6ft) from the south. The afternoon is the pick of that day: winds turn cross-off from the south-southwest at 15 km/h (9.3 mph) and conditions clean up with moderate energy at 249. That’s your next good chance.
From Friday, July 24, through to late July, the swell really backs off and the wind patterns are messy. You’ll see mostly poor conditions on offer. There’s a stand-out window on Wednesday afternoon, July 29. The wind goes offshore from the west-southwest at 15 km/h (9.3 mph), the swell is 1.3m (4.3ft) from the south at 9 seconds, and the combined energy sits at 247. That’s a clean session for intermediates.
After that, it’s hit-and-miss. Thursday, July 30 gets lumpy with a fresh cross-wind, and Friday, July 31 has an offshore howler from the west-northwest at 45 km/h (28 mph) – clean but hard to paddle into.
The next real highlight shows up on Sunday morning, August 2. Swell picks up to 1.8m (5.9ft) from the south at 8 seconds with 448 combined energy. The wind is offshore from the west-southwest at 20 km/h (12.4 mph). That’s your best swell size of the second week, but it might be too much for beginners. After that, things taper off again into much smaller surf. So overall, look to Wednesday July 22 and Sunday August 2 as the true standouts.

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.
