G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s in store for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a solid pulse of swell coming, but you’ll have to be smart about when you go. Water temp is 70°, pretty much dead average for this time of year.
First real action hits Tuesday afternoon, July 7th. There’s a chunky 12ft SSE swell with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 2947 – that’s strong to very strong. Wind is a fresh 30 km/h southerly, offshore, so it’ll be clean, but that size is for experienced surfers only. Too big for beginners. Wednesday, July 8th, the swell drops a little to 10ft from the SE, still with that long 11-second period. Winds are a moderate 25 km/h southerly, offshore, and energy stays high at 2373 and 2264. This is the standout window – excellent conditions for the crew who know what they’re doing. Experts only though.
Thursday, July 9th, the swell eases to 8ft from the SSE, with a 10-second period. The morning has a cross-off breeze, but the afternoon swings clean offshore. Energy drops to 2183 then 1065 – still moderate to strong. Friday, July 10th, brings 7ft SSE swell in the morning and 6ft SE in the afternoon; winds are light and offshore. Good for a wider range, but still on the bigger side for beginners.
From Saturday, July 11th, things fade fast. Saturday has 4ft, then Sunday the 12th is 3ft and down to 3ft with glassy conditions in the afternoon – surfable but ordinary. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th of July are tiny, with combined energy dropping into double digits. That’s a few days of barely anything.
A small flicker on Wednesday, July 15th – a 3ft SSE swell but with a very long 13- to 14-second period. That groundswell will be better at a point or reef. Winds are light offshore, so it’s clean.
The next real highlight is Thursday afternoon, July 16th. Swell builds to 5ft from the SSE with a very long 16-second period, and combined energy jumps to 1569. Winds are moderate offshore from the south at 20 km/h. That’s a proper groundswell – long period, good energy, clean. A standout for keen surfers, though that long period might make it a bit straight for the beach break.
Friday, July 17th, has 6ft SSE swell in the afternoon with a 12-second period and gentle offshore winds – another solid option. After that, from Saturday the 18th, the wind turns cross-on or onshore, and the swell fades into the low 3s and below. The last week (19th to 22nd of July) is mostly poor, with small messy waves and onshore winds. Energy drops right off to 31 or 33 by the end – a flat finish.
Best bets: Wednesday, July 8th for the biggest, cleanest expert-level surf, and Thursday afternoon, July 16th for that long-period groundswell with clean offshore conditions. This spot is very consistent, so even with this flat spell later, it won’t stay quiet for long. But for now, those are your days.
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.
