The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. We're looking at Turners Beach, and the outlook is a slow burn.

The first few days are a washout. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th have tiny waves and messy wind. Saturday the 5th is the same – poor. Water's 68.5°F, which is normal for this time of year, so no worries there.

Things finally pick up on Tuesday the 8th. A solid SSE swell arrives at 7.9ft in the morning, with offshore wind and a combined energy of 680 (moderate to strong). It's clean and punchy. That afternoon holds at 7.2ft with more offshore breeze – that’s your first alright session.

The real standout, though, is Thursday the 10th into Friday the 11th. Thursday afternoon cranks up to 9.8ft from the SSE, with offshore wind and a massive combined energy of 1059. That is a lot of water moving. Very good surf conditions, but at that size, over 8ft, it's strictly for experts. Friday morning is still firing with 6.9ft and an even higher energy of 1144, still offshore. Friday afternoon sees the period stretch out to 16 seconds, a proper groundswell. It might break a bit straight on the beach, but with that power and clean offshore wind, it’ll be quality.

This break is "very consistent," so it doesn't go flat often, but we had a few flat days. Crowds can show up sometimes, so for the peak on Thursday and Friday, you won't be alone. The swell direction is a good match for the spot.

After that, it fades fast. Saturday the 12th is smaller, and from Sunday the 13th onward, it's a long run of poor, weak, and messy conditions right through to the end. Not worth a second look.

Final call: the first week is a dud. The real action is Tuesday the 8th, but the clear winner is Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th. Big, clean, offshore SSE swells. Experts only. After that, give it a miss.

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.
