Hey, Rusty here. Turtles is your spot if you want a proper reef wave over the next couple weeks. Water temp is about 75°, dead normal for this time of year.
Friday, July 3rd morning is the first real standout. We’re looking at a clean 6ft SW groundswell with a 14-second period, a light offshore breeze from the ESE, and strong wave energy (1402). This is a quality, powerful wave for experienced surfers only. Perfect start.
Saturday the 4th gets ruined by onshore wind and chop. Sunday the 5th has a 5ft 16-second groundswell, but the cross-onshore wind just kills the shape – too long a period for this reef anyway, it’ll be fat and closey.
Wednesday, July 8th morning is a redemption day. You’ve got a clean 7ft SW swell (15 seconds), an offshore E breeze, and good energy (1718). It’s got some size, so leave the foamie at home.
But the absolute best is Thursday, July 9th morning. Glassy, no wind, with a 6ft WSW groundswell at 14 seconds. Wave energy is 1244, and it’s described as glassy. Clean, lined-up reef waves with zero wind. That is the session to circle.
The second week is smaller and more ordinary. A few clean mornings with offshore wind around July 14th and 16th, but the swell hangs around the 4-5ft mark. Thursday, July 16th morning looks decent with a 5ft WSW groundswell, a 16-second period, and a moderate offshore ENE wind (1018 energy). Expect crowds at this spot when it’s good – it’s often busy.
Overall, the first week has two or three killer windows for the advanced crowd. After that, it’s small and clean but not pumping. The glassy July 9th morning is the one you don’t want to miss.
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.
