The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but we’ll switch to feet and miles for the local crew who think in imperial.
The surf outlook for this area is thin for quite a while. There’s a few moments where it gets good, but mostly it’s a fight with the wind.
Starting off, Saturday morning the 1st is just small and average. Turtle Cove, a reef and point break, is showing surf around 2-3 ft (0.7m) from the S. The energy is weak (90), and with a cross-off wind from the SSW, it’s surfable but nothing special. The water is about 68°, which is a touch colder than normal for this time of year. Afternoon gets worse with stronger wind making it a mess.
Sunday the 2nd is a total loss with cross-shore wind chopping up tiny waves. Monday the 3rd bumps up to around 5-6 ft (1.7m) in the morning and 8 ft (2.3m) in the afternoon from the S, but there’s a strong breeze and rain. The energy is moderate to strong (up to 1276), but the wind ruins it. That size is a bit much for beginners, but nobody is having fun in those conditions anyway.
Here’s the moment to jump on it. Tuesday morning the 4th. The wind goes glassy – dead calm. The swell is a clean 5 ft (1.4m) from the S, period of 8 seconds, moderate energy (241). This is your best session of the entire outlook. Clean, fun, and workable. By afternoon, the seabreeze kills it, so be out there early.
From Wednesday the 5th all the way through to Sunday the 16th, it’s mostly cross-shore, onshore, or just weak wind. There are a few mornings with offshore winds, like Saturday the 8th, with light wind and 4 ft (1.3m) from the SSW, but the swell is short-period (6 seconds) and not punchy enough to stand out.
By the middle of the second week, swell drops to nearly flat, and winds turn onshore from the NE and E. The 14th brings a bump to nearly 7 ft (2.1m) from the SSW, but it’s onshore and choppy, making it more of a kiteboarding scene than a clean surf session.
So, do yourself a favor. Tuesday morning the 4th at Turtle Cove is your window. That’s the one clean, fun day in this whole stretch. The rest is pretty quiet or ugly.
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.
