The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Turtle Cove over the next couple of weeks.

First things first, the water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The week ahead is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s one standout session that’s got my attention. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf or flat conditions from the start, with nothing really worth paddling out for until Monday the 3rd.

That Monday afternoon, things finally turn. We’re lookin’ at a clean 5ft swell from the S, with a short period of 7 seconds, but a light offshore wind from the WNW will have the waves glassy. The combined energy is moderate (206), and the conditions are set to be the best on offer in the first week. It’s not a huge swell, but with that offshore breeze, it’s gonna be clean and fun for an intermediate surfer. Keep in mind, this is a reef and point break, so expect some nice lines.

After that, we get a few more days of clean but small surf – nothing to get too excited about. Then, on Saturday the 8th, we get another little pulse. The morning session looks promising with a 3ft SSE swell, a period of 11 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate (272) and the waves will be clean. This is a solid secondary call, but the Monday afternoon session is the real pick of the first week.

Now, lookin’ further out, Sunday the 9th brings a bigger 5ft swell from the SSE, but it’s gonna be a bit messy with cross-onshore winds. The real story is from Monday the 10th onwards. We’ve got a solid S swell building, with heights pushing 5ft to 7ft, and periods hitting 11 to 12 seconds – that’s some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy gets strong, hitting 1264 on Wednesday the 12th. However, the wind is onshore or cross-onshore for most of it, and the surf will be poor. The waves will be big and powerful, but with the onshore wind, it’s gonna be a messy, churned-up mess. This is definitely for experts only, and honestly, it’s looking more like a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session. The long period groundswell might make it break a bit too straight for the point, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

So, for the best of the bunch, I’d point you to Monday afternoon, the 3rd of August. It’s not the biggest, but it’s the cleanest. After that, the early hours of Saturday the 8th are a good backup. The second week has some serious energy, but the wind is gonna be a major factor.

Stay stoked, and keep your eyes on the horizon.

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.
