Hey, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at Turtles – an advanced reef break that’s gonna be pumping on and off for the next couple weeks. Water’s sittin’ around 74°, pretty average for the season. This spot is exposed, fairly consistent, and loves a good SSW swell.
Monday the 6th starts with a 6ft swell from WSW, 30 km/h southerly crosswind, and 1393 energy units – a bit choppy. Tuesday the 7th morning’s better: 8ft WSW, 15-second period, 20 km/h cross-offshore from SSE keeps it clean, energy jumps to 2479. Afternoon turns messy again. Wednesday the 8th morning is the highlight – glassy, 6ft WSW, 15-second period, 1530 energy – this is the one for the experienced. Thursday the 9th morning repeats the glass: 7ft WSW, 15-second period, 2055 energy – another stunner for advanced surfers.
Friday the 10th drops to 6ft with a 13-second period, 994 energy, still clean but smaller. Saturday the 11th morning has 4ft SW with light offshore easterly, 369 energy – clean but weak. Sunday the 12th morning glass again, 4ft SW, 14-second period, 855 energy – a tidy session. Monday July 13th morning offers 4ft WSW with a very long 17-second period, 1657 energy, clean cross-offshore – that groundswell will wrap nicely around the reef.
Tuesday the 14th morning is a beauty: 6ft SW, 16-second period, 1558 energy, and a solid 20 km/h offshore from ENE – clean and powerful. Wednesday the 15th morning serves up 6ft WSW, 14 seconds, 1128 energy, clean again. Then things quieten until July 18th Saturday morning, when a meaty 8ft SW swell hits with 15-second period, massive 3198 energy, and a 25 km/h cross-offshore keeps it clean – that’s for experts only. The rest of the second week sees smaller SW swell with cross-offshore breezes, and by July 21st Tuesday morning, you’ve got 6ft WSW with an 18-second period, 1851 energy – solid but breezy.
Best of the bunch: Wednesday July 8th morning – glassy, 6ft, long period, a dream for the brave. Second pick: Tuesday July 14th morning – offshore wind, solid 6ft, heaps of grunt. Expect company in the water, so plan accordingly.
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.
