Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the 16-day window at Turtles is a bit of a mixed bag. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year. The main issue is that the conditions are often messy, with a lot of wind messing up what could be decent swell. We’ve got a solid run of 5ft to 6ft swells, mostly out of the SW or WSW, with good long-period energy (14-16 seconds) – that’s proper groundswell. But the wind is the story here. For the first week, the afternoons are mostly write-offs with onshore or cross-shore breezes spoiling the surface.

The real standout in the whole window is Wednesday morning, July 8th. We’ve got a 6ft SW swell with a 15-second period, moderate wave energy (1597), and the wind is a light SE breeze – cross-offshore – keeping the face clean. It's set as excellent for experienced surfers, and honestly, that’s the pick of the bunch. It's an advanced reef break that's fairly consistent, so take that seriously. The crowd factor can be an issue here.

Looking at the second week, things get a bit more interesting but less certain. Tuesday morning, July 14th, is another one to circle. East winds blowing offshore at 16 mph, a solid 6ft SW groundswell (15-second period) and wave energy of 1586. Classic offshore conditions at Turtles – this could be real special. Then Wednesday morning, July 15th, also has a clean 4ft WSW swell with a 14-second period and a gentle offshore breeze from the east (wave energy at 1034). Just note, both of those are for advanced surfers only.

The rest of the second week is more of the same pattern: clean mornings getting blown out by the afternoon. The swell energy is moderate, but the wind window is tight. The combined wave energy values are mostly in the 600-1000 range, so moderate. Keep your eye on those two standouts and be out there for the morning sessions.

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.
