Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turtles over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, let’s talk Turtles. This is a reef break for the advanced crew, and the water temp is about 74°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
The start is a rough one. Saturday afternoon the 25th has a 3-foot swell from the WSW, but the wind is onshore and it’s just poor. Don’t bother. Sunday morning the 26th teases with a 3-foot SW groundswell, 12-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze – it’ll be clean. But the energy is weak (330), and it’s a tiny, glassy wave for the patient. From Sunday afternoon through Monday the 27th, the wind turns bad and the surf stays small or messy. There’s a few days of so-so conditions here.
The first real standout is Tuesday morning, July 28th. Swell jumps to 5 feet from the SW, 13-second period, with offshore wind from the east at 15 mph. The energy is solid (903), and the forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." This is the one. Clean water, the reef firing, and a proper groundswell. That offshore wind is a game-changer. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for you advanced guys, it’s on.
Next big highlight is Saturday morning, August 1st. Another 5-foot swell from the WSW, with a very long 16-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore, almost glassy (3 mph), and the energy is massive (1295). The forecast says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is a long-period groundswell, so it’ll be more powerful and lined up, but with longer waits between sets. This is the best of the best.
Then look at Friday afternoon, August 7th. The swell is 8 feet from the WSW, 15-second period, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the southeast at 9 mph. The wave energy is huge (2336), and it’s another "excellent" forecast. This is big, powerful, and experts only. The reef will handle it, but the size will be intimidating.
The end of the run gets rough. August 9th has a swell building to 13 feet, but the wind is onshore and choppy – a no-go for surfing. That much energy (6146) and that wind? That’s a kite-surfing dream, not a paddle session.
So, the best windows are Tuesday morning, July 28th, Saturday morning, August 1st, and Friday afternoon, August 7th for the experts. First week is slow, second week has real promise. Watch the wind, and get those early morning sessions.

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.
