Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the waves for the Turtles zone. Looks like we've got a solid run of swell on the way, but the wind and conditions are going to be the real deciding factors. Let's get into it.

The standout window, without a doubt, is Friday the 3rd. We've got a powerful SSW groundswell rolling in, with a long 15-second period, pushing solid 7 ft sets. The combined energy is up there at 1647 (moderate wave energy), which is a proper push. The morning sees a clean ESE offshore breeze, making for some beautiful, groomed faces at Turtles (reef). This is advanced territory for a reason – that size and power is for experienced surfers only. Water temps are sitting at 75°, which is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing crazy. The afternoon holds with an even lighter offshore, though the swell backs off slightly to 6 ft, but still excellent.

Now, after that Friday peak, things get a bit trickier. Saturday the 4th through Monday the 6th is a mixed bag. The swell hangs in there, between 5 ft and 6 ft, and we see some sweet long-period WSW groundswell (16 seconds) on Monday, but the wind is the problem. Saturday morning is cross-off, but it turns cross-on by the afternoon, and Sunday is a write-off with onshore SW winds and choppy conditions. Monday afternoon gets a fresh cross-shore that'll chop it up. Not the cleanest week.

The next real moment to watch is Wednesday morning, July 8th. The ESE offshore kicks back in, light to moderate, and we've got a clean 7 ft SW groundswell (15s). The energy is solid at 1860 (moderate wave energy). That's another top session for the advanced crew. Then Thursday morning, July 9th, offers a light cross-off breeze and a long-period 6 ft WSW swell (16s, 1531 energy). Very clean, very tempting.

After that, the swell drops off into the weekend of the 11th and 12th. We're looking at small, weaker swell in the 3 ft to 4 ft range. The energy drops to the low hundreds, and the wind is mostly messy. There's a gap of a few days there with nothing really worth paddling out for.

Looking further ahead to the second week, there's a flicker of hope. Tuesday morning, July 14th, has a light offshore breeze and a 6 ft WSW groundswell (16s, 1531 energy) that's clean. Worth waking up for if you're keen. Then into the 17th and 18th, a strong new WSW swell builds quickly, hitting 8 ft and 8 ft by Saturday the 18th with big energy readings (2609, moderate to strong). But the wind is forecast to be onshore and messy, so while the ocean has plenty of push, it could be a battle. Might be more of a sight for the kite crew than a clean paddle session.

So, for the die-hards, keep your eyes locked on Friday the 3rd and Wednesday the 8th of July. Those are your best bets for clean, powerful barrels at Turtles.

Keep it salty.

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.
