The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at the surf out the front of Turners Beach. It’s a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, so strap in.
The first couple of days are pretty average. Sunday the 30th has a bit of swell around 5ft to 5ft from the SSE, but the morning is cross-off and the conditions are only rated as marginal. The arvo cleans up with a gentle offshore, but it’s still ordinary. Monday the 31st is better—gentle offshore winds and a clean 5ft from the SSE, with the swell energy bumping up to (527). It's not firing, but it's the best of the early week.
Then it all goes a bit flat and rubbish from Tuesday the 1st through to Sunday the 6th. Swell drops away to under 3ft, winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and it’s just poor. You're looking at a solid gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 7th sees a big push of swell—8ft from the SSE with a solid 10-second period and strong wave energy (1469). But the wind is cross-on and it’s messy, so it’s not great for the point. Tuesday the 8th is the standout of the whole run. The swell drops to a clean 6ft, still from the SSE, and we get light offshore winds all day. The energy is solid (531) and the surf report says "expect good surf conditions". This is the one to circle.
After that, the middle of the week is rideable but nothing special. Wednesday through Saturday sees waves around 4ft to 6ft with offshore winds, but the quality is only described as ordinary. Sunday the 13th has some more size—6ft from the east—but the wind goes cross-shore in the arvo and it turns to junk. Monday the 14th is another good one though: glassy conditions, 5ft from the ENE, clean and with decent energy (472). That’s worth a dawny.
So for the whole window, Tuesday the 8th and Monday the 14th are your best bets. The 8th has the better swell and wind combo. Later in the fortnight, the 14th is promising but less certain. The water temp is 68°, which is about average for this time of year. Keep an eye on the wind, and don't get too excited about that big swell on the 7th—those cross-onshores will ruin it. This is a spot that tends to stay reasonably consistent, so even if the start is average, it generally doesn't stay poor for long.

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.
