The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Turtle Cove. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The next week and a half is looking pretty grim. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until August 5th, a full two weeks away, so we've got a long, dry spell to get through.
Right now, and for most of the next week, Turtle Cove is serving up junk. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-on or onshore, and the swell is either small, weak, or just messy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. We're looking at a lot of days with wave energy in the low hundreds, and the combined energy is often under 300. It's the kind of stuff that makes you want to stay on the beach and have a cold one.
The real standout, the only thing worth getting excited about, is Wednesday, August 5th. That morning, the forecast is absolutely pumping. We're looking at a massive 20ft SSW swell with a long 12-second period from a groundswell. The combined energy is a staggering 16727 – that's a proper ocean event. The wind is light and cross-off, which is a dream. But here's the kicker: that swell is way too big for all but the most experienced. It's a proper expert-only session. The afternoon settles down to a still-impressive 12ft with the same long period, and the wind holds. That's the window for the best of the crew.
The days leading up to that are a write-off. There's a couple of sessions on the 29th and 30th of July with clean, cross-off wind and surfable 3ft to 4ft waves, but the energy is weak and the quality is just 'ordinary'. Not worth a paddle. On August 1st, we get a morning with clean 3ft waves and offshore wind, but again, it's just a one-star session.
The week after, the 3rd and 4th of August, the swell starts to build again, but it's all 'marginal' with messy conditions. The 5th is the real deal. If you're an expert, circle that date. For everyone else, it's a time to watch from the cliffs.
Stay patient.
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.
