Turtles Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Howdy, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got a ripper 16‑day run on the cards for Turtles – a reef break that’s strictly for advanced surfers. The water temp is about average for the season, no big surprises. We’ve got a heap of solid groundswell, some of it real long‑period, so the reef will be doing its magic. Just got to pick the windows with clean wind.

First chance is Tuesday 7th July morning: 8ft WSW swell at 15 seconds, combined energy 2691. That’s a proper slab, but the wind is cross‑off from the SSE at 12 mph, so it’ll be a bit textured. Afternoon gets onshore and messy, so the morning is your only go. Wednesday 8th July morning is a beauty: 7ft SW at 15 seconds, ENE light offshore at 6 mph. That’s clean, powerful, and a true standout for experienced surfers.

Thursday 9th July morning is the absolute gem – 7ft WSW at 15 seconds, glassy calm with a 3 mph NE breeze. The combined energy is 2055, so it’s proper juice. With the reef shaping those long‑period lines, you’ll be in for a memorable session. Crowds are often here, but that morning should be worth the company.

Friday 10th morning drops to 5ft WSW (13 seconds) with a cross‑off SE wind at 12 mph – clean enough, but not a standout. Saturday 11th morning brings a smaller 4ft SW swell (13 seconds) with a light offshore E breeze at 9 mph – fun and clean, just not big. Sunday 12th morning holds at 4ft SW (13 seconds) with a cross‑off ESE breeze at 9 mph – okay, not stellar.

Monday 13th morning throws up a 6ft WSW groundswell at 18 seconds – very long period, combined energy 2243. The cross‑off SE wind at 12 mph will keep it clean, but those 18‑second sets will be spread out. Tuesday 14th morning is another standout: 6ft SW at 15 seconds, light offshore E at 6 mph. That’s clean, powerful, perfect for the reef.

Wednesday 15th morning is 5ft WSW (14 seconds) with a cross‑off NE breeze at 9 mph – clean. Thursday 16th morning goes glassy again with a 5ft SW swell (13 seconds), ENE at 3 mph – a lovely small‑day window. Friday 17th morning steps up to 7ft WSW (14 seconds) with a light offshore ESE wind at 6 mph – another top pick, but the afternoon blows out.

Saturday 18th morning has 7ft SW groundswell with a strong cross‑off SE wind at 25 mph – clean but wild, strictly for experts. Sunday 19th and Monday 20th taper down: 5ft to 5ft SW swells, lighter winds, but still functional. Monday morning has a 5ft SW groundswell at 16 seconds with a light cross‑off ESE breeze – clean and promising.

Tuesday 21st morning is wind affected with a 5ft SW swell (14 seconds) and a fresh SSE cross‑off at 19 mph – usable. Wednesday 22nd morning finishes strong: 4ft WSW at 15 seconds, offshore E wind at 16 mph, clean and lined up (combined energy 1271). That’s a quality end to the run.

The two standout sessions: Thursday 9th morning (glassy, 7ft WSW, 15s) and Tuesday 14th morning (light offshore, 6ft SW, 15s). Tuesday 14th is the cream of the crop – glassy, solid, perfect reef conditions. Get in there early.
