Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turtles over the next 16 days.


Alright, Rusty here, let’s break it down.

Water temp is about 74°F – right around normal for this time of year, nothing weird going on.

We’re zeroing in on Turtles, an advanced reef break that’s fairly consistent. It’s wide open to that SSW swell window. First call is Wednesday morning, July 8th. You’ve got a clean 6ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period. A light offshore breeze out of the ENE – just a light breeze – will keep the surface clean. The wave energy is strong (1597). Perfect for the experienced surfer.

Thursday morning, July 9th, is the real standout. Glassy, no wind at all. A 7ft WSW groundswell, long 15-second period, and energy jumps to 2055. That’s a powerful, clean reef wave. This is the kind of morning you don’t miss.

Friday morning is still clean with a 6ft WSW swell, but energy is lower (993). Still a good session. Saturday and Sunday mornings offer clean smaller waves around 4ft to 4ft, better for a smaller board or a log.

Monday morning, July 13th, brings a solid spike: 7ft WSW swell with a very long 18-second period. Energy is high at 2353. A light offshore breeze from the SE keeps it glassy. That deep period will make the reef wave stand up proper. Tuesday morning the 14th keeps the energy going with 6ft and a 20 km/h offshore ENE breeze. Solid.

Mid-week has a lull, but Thursday morning the 16th is clean with 5ft and glassy offshores. Friday morning the 17th is also clean with 6ft and good energy (1263).

Into the second week, Monday July 20th morning looks massive: 10ft WSW, but the wind is a strong cross-off at 35 km/h. It’ll be clean, but that size is for experts only. Then Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd mornings look primo – offshore winds and 8ft to 8ft SW swell. The 21st has strong energy (2907) and the 22nd is glassy.

The absolute best: Thursday morning the 9th for that glassy, solid 7ft groundswell. Monday morning the 13th for power and size. And keep your eye on the 22nd for a potentially glassy, clean 8ft session.

Rusty out.

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.
