Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got one spot on the radar for this whole 16-day stretch, and it’s a beauty for the crew that can handle it.

The overall pattern is a solid run of surf, especially for the first week and a half, with a real standout window that’s got my heart pumping. Things do fade a bit in the second week, but there’s still a couple of late calls worth setting the alarm for.

It all kicks off on Wednesday morning, July 8th, at Turtles. This is an advanced reef break, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The water temp is sitting at a comfortable 74°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Early on, we’ve got a clean 6 ft swell from the WSW, with a solid 15-second period pushing plenty of energy through (1528). The wind is light offshore from the east, making for some proper, clean lines. That’s a solid start.

But the real standout is Thursday morning, July 9th. Holy mackerel. The swell bumps up to 7 ft from the WSW, still with that long 15-second period, but the energy is cranked right up (2055). The wind? Totally glassy from the NNE. I mean, that’s as good as it gets. For an advanced spot like this, that’s the session you want to be in the water for. It’s a big, powerful groundswell, so on a reef like Turtles, it’s going to be a proper, barreling show. Be aware, at 7 ft, this is expert territory only.

The good run keeps rolling through Friday and into the weekend. Friday morning (July 10th) is still clean with a 6 ft swell and a nice cross-off breeze, though the energy has dropped a bit (993). Saturday and Sunday mornings (July 11th & 12th) offer cleaner, smaller waves in the 4 ft to 5 ft range, with good wind. The quality holds up for the experienced surfer. Crowds are often here, so just a heads up.

We get another big pulse on Monday morning, July 13th. A 6 ft WSW swell, very long 17-second period, and the energy is massive again (2362). Clean cross-off wind. This is another top-tier morning for the experts. That long period stuff is going to unload on the reef, so be ready for some long lulls and then a freight train.

The consistency holds into the middle of the week, albeit with a bit more wind influence on the afternoons. The mornings are still the call. By Wednesday the 15th, the swell is still there (6 ft) but the wind is a fresh 19 mph, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy. The mornings remain the cleanest window.

The second week sees a gradual drop in size, but there are still golden moments. Thursday morning, July 16th, is a gem for the conditions: a 5 ft swell with light offshore wind from the east, making for clean, fun waves. Friday morning, July 17th, is also clean with a 6 ft swell. Saturday morning, July 18th, is back to glassy conditions, but with a 6 ft swell. These are all solid, clean, and manageable.

The final big shout comes on Sunday morning, July 19th. The swell jumps right back up to 8 ft from the SW with a 15-second period, and the energy is the highest of the entire forecast (2972). That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is a cross-off from the north, keeping it clean. But that size is strictly for the experts. It’s powerful, and it’s a long period swell, so it’s a serious ocean out there.

After that, the energy fades fast. From Monday the 20th through to the end of the period on the 23rd, conditions get rougher with onshore winds and dropping swell. There are a couple of small, clean mornings on the 22nd and 23rd (2 ft and 3 ft with glassy winds), but the surf is tiny. A long wait for a small one.

So, the standout is without a doubt Thursday morning, July 9th, with Sunday morning, July 19th being the big, powerful, late-call option for the experts. For the rest of us, the mornings from the 16th to the 18th look like the most fun, clean windows.

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.
