Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a slow start, but this isn’t a complete write-off. The opening days are flat and not worth a second look, but hang tight because from Wednesday afternoon onward, things start to build into a solid run of clean, offshore surf. The real standout is the weekend of the 19th and 20th of July, when everything lines up for some proper waves at Turners Beach.
Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are a total bust. We’re looking at tiny 0.7ft to 0.7ft cross-shore slop with weak energy (89 to 100). Absolutely nothing doing. Wednesday the 15th morning is still tiny, but later that afternoon the switch flips. A solid 8ft SSE swell (619) kicks in with a fresh offshore breeze. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and close together, but the wind is clean. The 16th and 17th of July keep the same theme: 7ft to 8ft SSE swell, fresh offshore winds, and moderate energy (480 to 710). It’s a bit raw and stormy, but if you’re chasing clean, punchy beach break, it’s on.
Now, the highlight. The 19th of July (Sunday) and 20th of July (Monday) are the best on offer. On Sunday morning, we’ve got a 10ft ESE swell with a 9-second period and a massive 1254 combined energy. The wind is moderate offshore from the SSE, so it’s clean. The swell is pushing over 8ft, so this is one for the experienced crew only – it’s going to be powerful and a bit of a handful. Monday the 20th drops slightly to a 7ft to 7ft E swell, still with 10-second period and offshore winds, making for a more manageable but still solid day. These two days are the pick of the bunch.
After that, the swell backs off steadily through the 21st and 22nd of July, with 6ft to 4ft E swell and light winds, but the quality drops. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The 23rd of July starts with a glassy morning and 4ft E swell, but the wind swings around and messes it up by afternoon. From the 24th of July right through the end of the month, it’s a write-off. Onshore winds and smaller, messy energy. The 26th of July has a 4ft E swell with a long 12-second period, but it’s blown out by NNW winds, so it’s not worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: forget the first few days. Get in the water Wednesday afternoon the 15th through the 20th of July for the cleanest, biggest waves. The 19th and 20th of July are the standouts. After that, it’s back to small and ordinary.
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.
