The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a pretty grim stretch for Turtle Cove. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The first few days are a total write-off, and it’s not until we get deep into the second week that we might see a tiny flicker of hope.

The outlook kicks off on Tuesday the 28th of July, but don’t get excited. The swell is a tiny 1 ft from the SE, with a weak period of 9 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-shore at 19 mph. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is a measly 25 – just nothing doing. It’s a complete no-go.

Wednesday the 29th is even worse. The morning shows a bit of height at 4 ft, but it’s onshore wind at 22 mph and a short, horrible 6-second period. That’s just a messy, blown-out shorebreak. The afternoon gets a little better with a 6 ft swell, but it’s still a short period (7 seconds) and the wind is cross-shore. The energy jumps to 430, but honestly, it’s a messy, lumpy affair. Not worth it.

We then slide into a full week of nothing. From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through to Saturday the 8th of August, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell heights are tiny, periods are short, and the wind is never right. The energy levels are mostly in the double digits, barely cracking 100. It’s a desert.

Finally, we get to the one bright spot on the horizon. Monday the 10th of August. It’s not a big swell – only 2 ft from the SSE – but the period stretches out to 10 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. And the wind? Glassy. Absolutely glassy. That’s the key here. The energy is 83, which is still weak, but for a tiny, clean wave, you might just get a few fun little runners. The water temp is still a bit colder than average, but with that light offshore wind, it’ll be tempting. If you’re desperate, that’s your window.

After that, it’s back to the same old story. The rest of the second week offers nothing but small, onshore, gutless junk. The 11th and 12th of August have a modest energy of 113 and 100, but the winds are all wrong, and the periods are short again.

So, there you have it. The only standout in this whole 16-day window is the morning of Monday the 10th of August. Tiny, glassy, clean. For the rest of the time, save your energy and wax. It’s a tough stretch.

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.
