The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Turtles.

The water is sitting at 73°F, about normal for this time of year. The first real action is Sunday morning, August 2nd. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the SW with a long 15-second period, a light easterly offshore breeze, and strong energy (1563). For the advanced crew, this is close to perfect. It’s a reef break, so the lines will be proper, but it’s only for those who know what they’re doing.

Monday, August 3rd, is a bit of a wash. The swell is 5ft from the SW, but the wind is NNE at 16 mph, and there’s a risk of storms. The energy is still decent (1117), but the conditions are messy.

Tuesday, August 4th, is a real standout. The morning has a 5ft SW swell at 16 seconds, but the real magic is the ESE wind at 12 mph blowing offshore. It’s clean and glassy, with moderate energy (1135). The afternoon upgrades to a 5ft WSW swell, a 19-second period, and the wind drops to 6 mph from the ESE. That’s as clean as it gets. This is the pick of the week.

Wednesday, August 5th, is for the big dogs. The morning has a 8ft SW swell at 16 seconds, with very strong energy (3029). The wind is SE at 16 mph, cross-off, keeping it clean. That’s a solid wall of water, only for the experienced. The afternoon is similar but the wind goes more cross-shore, so it gets lumpy.

By Thursday, August 6th, the swell is pumping at 8ft from the WSW in the morning, but the wind is light and cross-shore. The energy is very strong (3685). The afternoon is a write-off with the wind howling from the SSW at 19 mph, making it a lumpy, cross-on mess. This is more of a kite-surfing session than a paddle one.

The following week has a few good windows. Sunday, August 9th, is a big day with 10ft SW swell and very strong energy (4891), but the wind is cross-shore. The next real clean window is Wednesday, August 12th, with a 6ft SW swell and a fresh offshore breeze from the ESE. Thursday, August 13th, and Friday, August 14th, both have excellent mornings with 6ft and 5ft SW swells, long periods of 15-16 seconds, and light offshore or cross-off winds. The energy is moderate (1318 and 1367). These are the best bets for a clean session in the second week.

This is a reef break and it’s often crowded, so get in early. The swell is generally too big for beginners, especially on the bigger days. The long period makes it better for the reef. The long-range forecasts are promising, but we’ll keep an eye on it.

Rusty.

Information about the Turtles Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Turtles provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Turtles can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Turtles 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 (Turtles) 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 Turtles 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.
