G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Turtle Cove over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, the surf is pretty ordinary. The whole first week is a bit of a write-off, with small, weak waves and mostly poor conditions. We’ve got a gap of several days with no real surf to speak of. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you’ll want a decent springsuit.
Friday the 3rd starts with a tiny 3ft SSW swell (76 energy) and light offshore wind, but it’s short period—only 6 seconds—so it’s weak and messy. Not worth paddling out. From there, it’s a long run of small, choppy, or onshore junk. Saturday the 4th through to Thursday the 10th of July is mostly flat or poor, with wind all over the place and swells barely scraping 1ft to 3ft. The energy is weak, well under 100 most of the time.
Things start to look a little more interesting from Friday the 10th afternoon into Saturday the 11th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the S (207 energy) with clean, cross-off wind, but it’s still not great. By Saturday afternoon the 11th, we get a 5ft S swell (320 energy) with light WNW cross-off breeze – that’s the best of a still pretty average window. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period groundswell, but it’ll be clean and rideable. Keep your expectations low.
The standout in the whole outlook is Saturday the 18th of July. That’s over a week away, so take it as promising but not locked in yet. We’ve got a solid 7ft SSE swell (490 energy) with a moderate offshore wind from the W in the morning, cleaning it right up. The period is only 7 seconds though, so it’s a short, chunky swell – more power than shape. Over 8ft would be expert-only, but 7ft is still big enough to be challenging for beginners. The afternoon drops to 5ft from the S (454 energy) with the same offshore wind. That’s the pick of the whole 16 days for size and clean conditions.
For the rest of the second week, it’s mostly small again. Sunday the 12th through Friday the 17th is a mix of 1ft to 3ft slop, with cross-off or offshore winds but not enough energy to get excited about. The morning of Thursday the 16th has glassy conditions with a tiny 1ft SE swell – pretty but barely a ripple.
Overall, you’re waiting until the 18th for the real action. Crowds are possible at Turtle Cove on a Saturday with decent swell, but it’s a reef and point setup, so it’ll handle the size. No other break in the region is worth highlighting.
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.
