The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so the outlook is a bit of a slow burner. We're looking at a patchy run of conditions, with a few windows that might get your hopes up, but nothing that screams "drop everything and go." The water's sitting at 67°F at Turtle Cove, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a decent spring suit.
First up, Wednesday the 15th of July is the first real chance. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the SW with a short 7-second period and the wind is offshore from the West. The combined energy is moderate at 152. It's surfable, but the conditions are pretty ordinary. The afternoon drops right off, so it's a morning-only window.
Then we have a big gap. From Thursday the 16th right through to Sunday the 19th, it's all tiny, weak, or messy. The odd puff of offshore wind here and there, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. You'll be fighting for scraps.
Monday the 20th of July morning is worth a mention. The swell is 4ft from the South, still a short 8-second period, but the wind is glassy. That's a major positive. The combined energy is moderate (171). This is a solid session for a relaxed paddle, but don't expect any power.
The next real standout is Wednesday the 22nd of July afternoon. The swell is 6ft from the South, 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the West. The combined energy jumps to a strong 459. This is where it gets interesting. Turtle Cove (a reef and point) will be handling that S swell well, and with offshore wind, it'll be clean. This is the pick of the bunch for the week, but 6ft is getting into intermediate territory, not for beginners.
The morning of Thursday the 23rd of July is also a treat. The swell is 5ft from the South, 8-second period, with glassy conditions. The combined energy is 270. Another clean, fun session, just a touch smaller than the day before.
After that, it fades out. From Friday the 24th through to the end of the period, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell drops off. There's a brief pulse on Sunday the 26th of July afternoon with a 5ft SSE swell, but the wind is cross-offshore and the comment says it's marginal. By Monday the 27th of July, the swell is back to small stuff under 3ft, and the wind is messy.
The best bet is the Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July, for the biggest clean swell, and the Thursday morning, the 23rd of July, for the glassy conditions. The long-range stuff towards the end of the second week is less reliable, but that Wednesday/Thursday window is the one to aim for.
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.
