The Lowdown

Right from the get-go, I gotta be straight with you: the next week and a half or so is gonna be a bit of a grind for surf at Turners Beach. We've got a long stretch of nothing special coming up, a real flat spell that’ll test your patience. The first decent chance of a wave that’s worth paddling out for doesn’t show its face until Thursday the 14th, and even then it’s a building swell. Before that, it's all small, short-period, and messy.

Starting this Friday the 7th, we’re looking at ankle to knee-high dribble with a cross-shore breeze. The energy is weak, and it's just not doing anything. Saturday the 8th stays in that same vein, a little bump but nothing with any push. The wind is light, but the swell is just too weak and short-period to make anything of it. We head into Sunday and Monday with the swell trying to pick up a bit, but the wind goes onshore and it just turns into a choppy mess. It’s all for nothing with that bump on it.

The middle of next week stays pretty grim. Tuesday the 12th is poor, but keep an eye on Wednesday afternoon. The wind goes glassy and the swell bumps up to 3ft, but it's from the NNE with a short 7-second period. It’ll be surfable but super ordinary, a real grovel session for the desperate.

Then, we get our window. Thursday the 13th starts to show some life, and by Friday the 14th, we finally see something with some grunt. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSE with a proper 13-second period, and the energy readings are strong. This is the standout of the whole run. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean. This is the one to point for. It’s a solid, powerful groundswell, and the size is on for sure. It might be a bit much for the groms and beginners, but for the rest of us, this is where it’s at. The afternoon stays good with a moderate offshore wind and still a solid 6ft of swell.

The weekend following that has some leftovers. Saturday the 15th is still fun with 5ft waves, but the wind is stronger. Sunday the 16th sees it ease down, and then we’re back into a smaller, trickier pattern with short-period windswell for the early part of the following week. The long-range stuff out around the 21st and 22nd shows some more size, but the wind is mostly onshore for it, turning things messy. The one thing I will say is that the 22nd has some promise with a glassy morning and a 4ft ENE swell, but that’s a long way off and forecasts will change. Keep the faith, there’s a window on the 14th that’s worth the wait.

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.
