The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Turtles. This is a solid reef break for advanced surfers only, and it’s fairly consistent, so we’ve got some windows to work with. The water is sitting at 72°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance to paddle out kicks off on Thursday the 3rd of September. Morning sees a 6ft SW swell with a 13-second period, so there’s decent energy coming through (combined energy of 1096). The wind is out of the S at 16 mph, blowing cross, which brings a bit of a cross-chop. It’s marginal, but it’s worth a look if you’re keen for a session. Afternoon turns rougher and lumpy, so morning is the call.

Friday the 4th is a similar story. Morning has a 6ft SW swell, period bumping up to 14 seconds, and moderate cross-shore wind from the S at 12 mph. The cross-chop is there, but it’s rideable. The afternoon gets a fresh breeze and lumpier, so again, morning is your window.

Saturday the 5th is a bit of a tease. We’ve got an 8ft SW swell rolling in with a 16-second period, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is strong at 3178. But the wind is cross-onshore from the SSW at 9 mph, making it fairly choppy. It’s marginal, but for a big wave charger, that long period could be worth it. The afternoon turns fresh and lumpy, so no dice.

Sunday the 6th is a write-off. An 12ft SW swell with a strong breeze from the S at 25 mph makes for messy, poor conditions all day. This is too big for most, and the wind is ugly. Leave it.

Monday the 7th is a glimmer. Morning brings a 6ft WSW swell with a 17-second period, and the wind is from the SE at 19 mph, blowing cross-offshore. That’s clean, and the combined energy is strong at 3459. It’s a marginal call, but with that direction and long period, Turtles could be lining up nicely. Afternoon is a no-go with a fresh cross breeze.

Tuesday the 8th is a solid morning option. A 7ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the SE at 22 mph. The energy is strong (2054). It’s marginal, but cleaner than most. The afternoon stays clean and cross-off, but the swell drops a touch.

The standout. Wednesday the 9th is the pick of the bunch. Morning has a 7ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and offshore wind from the ESE at 16 mph. The wind is clean, the swell is solid, and the combined energy is a strong 2234. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The reef will handle that long period well. Afternoon turns cross-shore, so get out early.

Thursday the 10th is another cracker. A 6ft WSW swell, 15-second period, and glassy conditions with an ENE breeze at only 3 mph. That’s as clean as it gets. Combined energy is 1678. This is a fantastic morning session, especially for the more experienced. The afternoon turns choppy again.

After that, the week ahead gets messier. Friday the 11th has a smaller 5ft WSW swell, but with a light cross-onshore wind, it’s marginal. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have some size but are plagued by strong winds and lumpy conditions. Monday the 14th is a light wind day with a 6ft SW swell, but it’s cross-shore, so it’s just okay.

Looking into the second week, it gets less certain. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th have fresh onshore winds and lumpy surf. Thursday the 17th drops right off to 4ft with poor conditions.

The other standout. Friday the 18th is a real surprise. Morning has a 5ft WSW swell, 14-second period, and glassy conditions with a light S breeze at 3 mph. Combined energy is 831, so it’s modest, but that glassy surface will be beautiful. For a quiet, clean session, this is worth marking on the calendar. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out.

So, bottom line: the best windows are the mornings of Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th. Glassy, offshore, proper swell. Friday the 18th is a long-range hope, but it’s a good one. Crowds are often a factor at Turtles, so get there early.

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.
