The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and here’s the lowdown on Turners Beach for the next couple of weeks. This spot is a sheltered, beginner-friendly break, and honestly, the surf is pretty lackluster across the board. The swell energy is mostly weak, with values like 83, 126, 93—nothing to get your heart racing. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. The first week is a dud, with small, short-period swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. There’s a dry spell from now through the end of August.
The one bright spot is Thursday, September 3rd, in the morning. You’ve got clean conditions with light offshore winds, and a 1.3m swell from the SSE—nothing huge, but the combined energy hits 483, which is moderate. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a windswell, but the offshore flow will keep it tidy. That’s your best chance for a session, especially if you’re a beginner or just want a clean ride. Crowds can show up sometimes, so be ready.
Other than that, there’s not much. Sunday, August 30th, afternoon brings 2.1m from the NE—that’s expert territory, and the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s messy despite the offshore wind. The rest of the first week is small and wind-affected. Early September has a few clean mornings, like Tuesday, September 1st, with glassy 1.1m from the east, but the energy is only 212. Thursday, September 3rd, morning is the standout. The rest is poor or surfable but ordinary. Turners is consistent, so forecasts could shift, but right now, it’s a quiet run.
Rusty.

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.
