Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turtles over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a solid run of swell coming our way, but it’s going to take a bit of patience and a keen eye on the wind to really score.
The opening window is a bit of a write-off. Monday afternoon is a no-go with messy, choppy conditions from a cross-on wind. The real story starts to pick up from Tuesday morning.
Tuesday morning, July 14th, is where we start to see some life. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the NE, cleaning up a solid 6ft SW groundswell packing some serious energy (1816). It’s still a bit of a beast for the average punter – that’s a lot of water moving around – but for the experienced crew, the conditions will be excellent. The water is sitting at a pleasant 74°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.
Wednesday morning, July 15th, is the standout early in the period. We’ve got a clean 6ft WSW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is a light offshore from the ENE. That’s a recipe for some proper, well-shaped waves. The energy is still strong (1184), but the conditions will be clean. This is a window for the confident surfer to get amongst it.
Thursday, July 16th, the swell backs off a touch to 4ft, but the morning still offers clean conditions with a cross-off wind. The energy is dropping (1030), but for a smaller board, it’ll be a fun session.
By Friday, July 17th, and Saturday, July 18th, the wind gets a bit tricky, with cross-shore and cross-on conditions making things choppy. The swell is still there, but the quality drops. Saturday afternoon sees a jump in size to 8ft, but it’s messy.
Sunday morning, July 19th, is another one to watch. We’re looking at a big 8ft SW groundswell (3001 energy) with a 16-second period. That’s a serious amount of water. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but for the advanced crew at Turtles, this could be a proper session. That’s a big wave, and with that long period, it’s going to be powerful and sucky. Only for the experts.
The middle of the week, from July 21st through the 23rd, sees solid, clean conditions with cross-off winds, but the swell is a bit smaller and the energy is moderate. The wind is pretty fresh (22 mph on Tuesday), so it’ll be a bit of a paddle, but the waves will be clean.
Then we get another promising window. Friday, July 24th, morning has a clean 6ft WSW swell with a 16-second period and a solid offshore E wind. That’s a great combo. The energy is strong (1567). This is a real standout window for the second week.
Saturday, July 25th, morning is also a beauty. Clean 6ft WSW swell from a cross-off NE breeze. Another fine session.
Monday, July 27th, morning is the last real standout. A clean 6ft WSW swell, 16-second period, and a gentle offshore E wind. The conditions are set for excellent surf.
Finally, Tuesday morning, July 28th, we get a moment of pure glass. The wind is dead calm, zero, and the swell is a clean 5ft SW. It’ll be a bit smaller, but glassy conditions are a magic ticket. Don’t sleep on that.
So, to sum it up: the best bet for the first week is Wednesday morning, July 15th, for the cleanest, most user-friendly conditions. For the second week, lock in Friday, July 24th, morning and Monday, July 27th, morning for the best combination of size, period, and clean offshore wind. Bigger, more powerful swells for the experts pop up on Sunday the 19th and Tuesday the 14th.
Stay salty.
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.
