The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up. We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards, but you’ll need to pick your moments with the wind. The standout session is the morning of Tuesday the 14th, so let’s get into it.

The main event is definitely Tuesday morning at Turtles. It’s a reef break, so you’re getting proper waves. We’ve got a clean 6 ft SW swell with a long 16-second period, which means real groundswell energy. The combined energy is a very strong 1816, so there’s plenty of push. Winds are a light cross-off from the NE at 9 mph, which will keep the surface glassy. The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is about average for this time of year. This is proper, and it’s going to be pumping. It’s fairly consistent, so you’ll get waves, but it’s an advanced spot, and it can get crowded – just a heads up. This is the best of the whole window.

The rest of the first week is a tease. Wednesday morning the 15th is still clean, with a 6 ft WSW swell, but the period drops to 14 seconds, so the energy is a bit less. The wind is ENE 6 mph, so still clean, but it’s not the same quality as Tuesday. Thursday morning the 16th is a bit smaller at 4 ft, and it’s clean, but the wind is a bit stronger. Friday and Saturday are a write-off with onshore winds and chop.

Now, keep an eye on Sunday the 19th. The morning has a solid 8 ft SW swell from the south-west, with a 16-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 3137. Winds are a cross-off from the SE at 16 mph, so it’s clean, but that’s big – over 8 ft, so this is for experts only. If you’re not comfortable with that size, give it a miss. The afternoon is still big at 8 ft, but it’s still clean.

After that, the week winds down with some smaller, cleaner days, but nothing special. Then, on Thursday the 23rd, we get a window of genuine offshore wind. The morning has a light 4 ft SW swell, but the wind is straight offshore from the E at 9 mph. It’s a bit small, but it will be clean and lined up. The following Saturday the 25th morning is also a standout for the second week. A 5 ft SW swell with a 15-second period and a moderate offshore wind from the E at 16 mph. The combined energy is 1045, so it’s a solid, clean, powerful wave. That’s your best bet for the second week, but it’s a long way out, so don’t set your watch by it yet.

The run then fades out towards the end of the month with smaller, wind-affected surf. The 29th shows a blip of 5 ft SW swell, but it’s a short 10-second period and the afternoon winds get ugly.

So, overall, the clear winner is Tuesday morning the 14th. The Sunday the 19th morning is the big-wave option for the experts. And for the second week, circle Saturday the 25th morning as a promising call.

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.
