Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turtles over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Turtles.
Turtles is a reef break that’s wide open to the swell, and it breaks fairly regularly. The water temperature is about normal for this time of year. The total wave energy is big, with numbers like 2002 and 2275, so there’s some serious power in the water.
The best windows are a couple of mornings. Monday morning, July 13th is a belter. The swell is a solid 6ft from the SW, with a 17-second period, that’s a proper groundswell. The wind is a light offshore from the SE, which will keep the surface glassy. The energy is pumping at 2200, and it’s rated as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a session for the confident ones, with that long period making it more powerful on the reef.
The other standout is Friday morning, July 17th. You’ve got a 7ft swell from the WSW, with a 16-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, almost glassy at just 3 mph. The energy is massive at 2275, and it’s another one for the experienced crew. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
Thursday afternoon, July 9th is a no-go, with onshore wind and a questionable tide. Friday morning, July 10th has a clean 6ft swell from the WSW with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s a 13-second period, so it’s solid but not a standout. The afternoons in this stretch are generally blown out with cross-onshore winds.
Sunday morning, July 12th has a clean 5ft SW swell and a 14-second period, but it’s not as big as the standouts. Tuesday morning, July 14th has a 7ft WSW swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it’s a bit lumpy.
The second week has some clean mornings, like Wednesday morning, July 22nd, with a 4ft SW swell and a 15-second period, and that long-range energy is back up to 1248. It’s a good option, but the wind is a touch stronger.
There are gaps in the perfect conditions, but the break is consistent enough that you’ll find something. The crowds are marked as “often,” so be ready to share the lineup.

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.
