G'day, Rusty here again with a look at the 16-day picture for the Turtles.
The water is running just a tick warmer than usual for the season, sitting at about 84°F with a 2°F anomaly – comfortable enough for a spring suit or maybe even boardshorts if you're used to the tropics.
The first real standout comes Saturday, July 5th morning and then again Sunday, July 6th morning. Swell is running 5ft to 6ft out of the S/SSW direction, with a period of 17 seconds – classic groundswell. That kind of period means better-shaped waves, but it's always worth noting that long-period swell can get a little straight at some beach setups; here at Turtles reef, it should be fantastic. The wind is what really makes it: Sunday morning is just a 6 mph cross-off breeze. Combined wave energy is reading strong at 1762 on Saturday and 1526 on Sunday – plenty of power. The 6ft swell on Sunday is getting up there, so it’s more for the experienced surfer. Afternoons get a moderate cross-off breeze, but it's still clean.
There’s a dry spell from Monday, July 7 through to Saturday, July 12. The wind picks up with fresh breezes, and the wave comments call it marginal. You'd be scratching for a wave.
The next serious opportunity shows up Tuesday, July 14th morning. That's over a week out, so treat it as promising but not locked in. Forecast is a 7ft SSW swell with a 17-second period and a gentle cross-off breeze. The combined energy hits a massive 2500 – that's well into strong territory. Definitely a day for experts only at that size.
Outside those two windows, you've got a steady run of clean, cross-off wind and moderate swell – not world class, but reliable enough to get wet.
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.
