Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turtles over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a real mix of heavy water and clean windows coming up. The standout spot is Turtles, a reef break that’s for advanced surfers only. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is pretty much bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The real story starts Thursday morning, July 9th. Turtles is going to be absolutely pumping with a solid 7 ft swell out of the WSW, and the period is a long 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell pouring in. The combined energy is massive (2055), and with a glassy NW wind at only 3 mph, it’s going to be as clean as you’ll ever see it. This is the best on offer, hands down. Just remember, it’s a reef and it’s big, so only for the experienced crew. Crowds are often around here, so get in early.

After that morning, Thursday afternoon gets choppy with onshore wind, so your window is narrow.

Friday morning, July 10th, drops a little to 6 ft from the WSW, but the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SE at 6 mph. The energy is still solid (993), and the waves will be well-shaped. Another good morning session.

Saturday morning, July 11th, the swell backs off to 4 ft from the SW, but with a light offshore breeze from the ESE, it’ll be fun and clean. Not a standout, but a nice little surf.

Sunday morning, July 12th, the swell bumps back up to 5 ft from the SW with a long 15-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore, making for very good conditions. The energy is moderate (984), so it’s a solid day.

The next big one comes Monday morning, July 13th. Swell is 6 ft from the SW, period is a very long 17 seconds, and the energy is strong (2194). With a light cross-offshore wind, this is top-tier for experienced surfers. The paddle out will be easier with those long gaps between sets, but the waves will be powerful.

Tuesday morning, July 14th, stays strong at 7 ft from the WSW with a 16-second period. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, so it’s clean but the energy is high (2024). This is still big for the average punter.

Wednesday morning, July 15th, the swell is 6 ft, and the wind is a moderate cross-offshore. The energy has dropped a bit (1168), but it’s still a clean, surfable morning.

Thursday morning, July 16th, the swell eases to 5 ft from the SW, and the wind is a light cross-offshore. Clean, easy waves.

Friday morning, July 17th, we get another solid pulse: 6 ft from the WSW, 16-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the ENE. That’s clean, powerful, and a good call for the advanced crew. Energy is strong (1858).

Saturday morning, July 18th, comes in at 6 ft from the WSW with a gentle offshore wind. Clean and consistent.

Sunday morning, July 19th, the swell drops to 5 ft, but the wind goes glassy from the SE. A lovely session for a mid-range board.

After that, there’s a bit of a lull. Monday July 20th through Wednesday July 23rd sees the swell dropping to 4 ft and 3 ft, and the winds are mostly messy. There’s nothing to get excited about, but it’s a typical summer lull.

Then, Friday morning, July 24th, the oven turns on. We’re looking at a big 10 ft swell from the SW. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but the energy is huge (3047). This is only for the experts – it’s way too big for anyone else. The reef will be handling it, but it’s a serious mission.

Overall, the best bet is Thursday morning, July 9th for the glassy, long-period groundswell, and Monday morning, July 13th for the powerful, clean conditions. The 24th is a big one, but it’s a long way out and the wind could shift.

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.
