The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a lean run for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks. The good news is there’s a real standout window if you’re patient. Let’s get into it.

We’re looking at a long, quiet stretch to kick things off. From now right through until the morning of Wednesday, September 11th, it’s mostly poor surf with onshore winds and weak, messy waves. There are a few moments where the wind cleans up – like the morning of Friday the 4th, with a light offshore and a tiny 1.3ft SSE swell – but the wave energy is just too low to get excited about. The combined energy is a weak 93, and the swell period is a short 10 seconds. It’s paddle-around-and-get-frustrated kind of stuff.

The real standout arrives on the morning of Wednesday, September 11th. This is where the whole forecast changes. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell rolling in from the SSE, and the kicker is the period – a massive 16 seconds. That’s groundswell, loaded with energy. The combined energy reading is a whopping 1473, which is strong. The wind is offshore and moderate. This is going to be clean, powerful, and a proper treat for a sheltered spot like Turners Beach. The 5ft height is manageable for most experienced surfers, but it’s a good step up from the flat stuff prior. The swell direction (SSE) is spot on for the break’s optimum.

This quality carries into the afternoon on the 11th, with the swell pushing up to 6.2ft (still SSE, 14-second period, combined energy of 1462) and clean offshore winds. That’s the pick of the entire period. Saturday the 12th is still very good, with 4.3ft to 3.9ft SSE groundswell and clean, light winds, but the energy drops off a bit. For the absolute best, aim for the 11th.

After that, the surf fades. It’s back to ordinary conditions by Sunday the 13th, with a 2.6ft swell and glassy conditions, but the energy is gone. The rest of the second week looks poor, with increasing cross-onshore winds and small, weak swell. There’s a little uptick on the morning of the 17th, with a glassy 2ft SSE swell, but it’s nothing to write home about.

So, to sum it up: wait for Wednesday, September 11th. That’s the only day in this whole 16-day window where you’ll be stoked you paddled out. The rest is a test of patience. The water temp is sitting around 68.5°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

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.
