Turners Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what’s coming for Turners Beach. I gotta be straight with you – it’s shaping up to be a real slow starter with a lot of small, messy days before we get a proper window.

For the first week and a bit, we’re stuck in a holding pattern. There’s barely enough energy in the water to get excited about. Tuesday morning the 1st of September has some tiny 3ft SSE swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is only moderate at 223. The wind is glassy in the morning, which is nice, but the waves are just ordinary. Most of the following days drop off even more, with small swells and onshore or cross-onshore wind messing things up. There’s a stretch of poor conditions that lasts right through to the 7th of September.

Now, after you’ve been patient, Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon looks like the standout of the whole outlook. A solid 12ft swell rolls in from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds, and combined energy hits a very strong 2172. That’s a proper pulse of power. The wind will be glassy and clean, offshore from the ESE, so the waves should be clean and lined up. But listen – at that size, this is only for experienced surfers. Beginners, stay on the sand for this one. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

The morning of Thursday the 10th of September also offers some decent surf. Swell drops to a still-chunky 6ft from the SSE (9 seconds, moderate energy at 528) with clean offshore winds from the south. It’s a good option for the intermediate crew. That afternoon stays clean too with 5ft swell.

After that, things fade again. The 11th of September has surfable but very ordinary waves, and from the 12th onward it’s back to poor conditions with small swell and onshore wind. The last few days of the outlook show some tiny waves but nothing worth paddling out for. Crowds are listed as “sometimes” at this beach, so you might have company, but with conditions this weak for so long, I wouldn’t expect a crowd until that bigger swell hits.

So the call is simple: wait out the first week, and mark your calendar for Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon for the biggest, cleanest surf on offer. Everything else is a skip.

Rusty.
