Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turtles over the next 16 days.
Hey, Rusty here. Only one break in the mix, and it's a serious reef that doesn't mess around.
We're looking at Turtles (Turtles). It's an advanced reef break, totally exposed, hungry for SSW groundswell. Water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
The first call is Thursday morning, July 9th. There's a solid 7ft of WSW groundswell with a long 15-second gap between sets. The wave energy is pumping at 2055 (strong). What gets me excited is the glass - pretty much zero wind from the NNW. That means clean, perfect lines for the experienced crew. By the afternoon, the wind turns onshore and it's game over for quality.
Friday morning the 10th is still on. Swell drops a bit to 6ft from the WSW, 13-second period, with moderate energy at 1008. A light SE cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph keeps it clean and fun. The arvo gets messy again.
The real highlight is Saturday morning the 11th. Smaller at 4ft from the SW, but that 13-second period gives it some life. Light ESE cross-offshore wind, clean conditions, and lower energy at 390 (weak) means it's a more relaxed session. Watch for crowds here, they can show up.
Sunday morning the 12th brings a fresh 5ft SW swell with a 14-second period and 785 energy (moderate). Light SE cross-offshore winds keep the surface tidy.
The following week has some absolute crackers, especially Monday the 13th (6ft, 17-second period, 2073 energy - very strong) and Tuesday the 14th (7ft, 16-second period, 2049 energy - very strong) with clean offshore or cross-offshore winds. That long period means these swells will have plenty of power and shape.
We've got an 8ft SW groundswell hitting Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th of July. That's big stuff, only for experts. The morning of the 20th has a nice offshore ESE breeze at 12 mph, and the energy is thumping at 2474 (very strong).
Into the last few days, Thursday the 23rd morning has another 7ft SW swell, but the wind is cranking at 19 mph cross-offshore - clean but bumpy. Friday the 24th drops to 5ft.
The best of the best is Thursday the 9th morning with that glass, followed by Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th mornings for consistent, powerful groundswell.
Take it easy out there.
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.
