The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with a look at what's coming down the line for Turners Beach.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The surf is poor for the next few days, with a messy mix of onshore and cross-shore winds. The first real window of opportunity opens up on Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of September. It’s not perfect, but we’ll take it.
The standout action is definitely later in the week. The forecast is building toward a solid pulse on Thursday, the 10th. The morning is looking at a hefty 12ft of swell from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is blowing straight offshore. That’s a lot of water moving around – the combined energy is cranked up to 1771. This is expert territory, no doubt about it. The afternoon holds at 10ft, and it’s still clean. If you’re skilled and hungry, that Thursday is your day.
Leading into that, Wednesday the 9th gives us a chance to warm up. The morning is glassy with 5ft of SSE swell, but the energy is moderate at 350. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The afternoon picks up a bit with a 5ft SE swell and a cleaner cross-off breeze.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are still solid options. Friday has a consistent 8ft of SSE swell in the morning, dropping to 8ft in the afternoon, both with offshore winds. Saturday is a bit smaller at 6ft, but still clean and consistent. The energy is moderate, around 500-800.
After that, the swell drops off considerably. Sunday the 13th sees 4ft, and by Monday the 14th, we’re down to 2ft and glassy in the morning, but it’s pretty weak. The rest of the second week is a real struggle, with a lot of small, weak, and wind-affected days. There’s a brief flicker of hope on Wednesday the 16th, with a 7ft SSE swell and offshore winds, but the energy is only moderate at 459. It’s worth a look if you’re desperate, but the real magic is that Thursday the 10th.
Water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Turners Beach is a very consistent spot, but it’s sheltered and can get a bit crowded sometimes. Keep that in mind if you’re heading out on the peak days.
So, to wrap it up: you’ve got a few days of waiting, then a solid, clean, but expert-only window on Thursday the 10th. Friday and Saturday are still good for a paddle. After that, it’s mostly small and forgettable until the 16th. Stay sharp.
Rusty.

Information about the Turners Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Turners Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Turners Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Turners Beach 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 (Turners Beach) 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 Turners Beach 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.
