The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks of surf.
We've got a long stretch of waves ahead, but the wind is going to be the main story. The water temperature is right where it should be for this time of year.
Starting on Tuesday the 14th, a solid pulse of swell pushes in, about 5ft from the SSW with a very long 16-second period. The energy is strong (1973), but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore breeze. It keeps the surface clean, but the report says it's marginal. Wednesday the 15th is similar, a bit less energy but still a clean 5ft to 5ft swell.
Now, Thursday morning, July 16th is the real standout. The swell is a consistent 5ft from the SW, with a solid 15-second period and good energy (1055). The wind is a gentle 9 mph cross-off. The report calls it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That's the window. The only catch is that Turtles can get crowded "sometimes," so get there early.
The rest of that week into the next is a frustrating mix of solid swell and strong winds. Friday the 17th morning has a similar 5ft swell with a very long 16-second period, but the wind is a bit stronger. By the weekend, the wind is howling at 18-22 mph. It's clean, but it's a battle.
We hit a lull on Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd. The swell is small, weak, and the period drops to just 8 seconds. That's not worth paddling out for.
The next promising window comes around Monday morning, July 28th, about two weeks out. The forecast shows a 4ft swell from the SW with a very long 18-second period and a solid energy reading of 1721. The wind is a manageable 12 mph cross-off. That's got potential, but it's a long way off, so don't book your flights yet.
So, the best of the bunch is Thursday morning, July 16th. It's the cleanest the conditions will be, with a good shaped swell and just enough energy to keep you stoked. Not too big for the average surfer, but the experienced crew will have a blast.
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.
