Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turners Beach over the next 16 days.
Righto, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Turners Beach. This spot is a sheltered beginner-friendly break, and it’s very consistent, so it’s always got something to check. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty much average for this time of year – nothing weird going on there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 11th morning has a small 4ft SE swell, but the wind is cross, making it messy. Afternoon gets worse with a 5ft SE swell and cross-on breeze. Sunday and Monday are similar – small, weak, and messy. There’s a real gap here with no decent surf until the middle of the week.
Then things turn interesting. From Wednesday the 15th afternoon, the ocean wakes up. A 10ft SSE swell rolls in, but the wind is strong and cross-off, so it’s not going to be user-friendly. The real standout kicks off Thursday the 16th morning. We’ve got a 15ft SSE swell, clean offshore wind from the SSE, and massive energy (4009). That’s big, powerful, and only for the experienced crew. This swell sticks around through the end of the week and into the next. The best of the bunch looks like Sunday the 19th: an 12ft ESE swell, offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy is huge (3148), and the wind is gentle offshore – that’s about as good as it gets here for someone who knows what they’re doing.
Further out, the 20th and 21st still hold clean 10ft and 8ft ESE swells with light offshore or cross-off winds. The last week of the month sees the size dropping but still surfable, with an 8ft S swell on the 23rd under offshore wind, and then a slow fade into smaller, less clean conditions by the 26th.
If you’re a beginner, this is a no-go for the entire second week because the swell is too big. For the experienced, the Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th window is the real gold – big, clean, and powerful. Crowds are possible at Turners Beach, so get there early. The long-period swell (10-12 seconds) will give nice shape and longer lulls, which is a bonus for paddling out.

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.
