G'day, Rusty here. Alright, let's take a look at what's on offer at Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there's definitely some solid grunt coming through if you're willing to wait for the right window.
The water temp's sitting at 70°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.
We kick things off on Saturday the 4th of July, but honestly, it's pretty underwhelming. There's a small 4 ft SSE swell with a short 7-second period and weak energy (280). The wind's cross-off from the south, so the surface is clean, but the waves are just ordinary. It's not worth paddling out for much. That afternoon holds similar 4 ft S swell, a bit better period at 8 seconds, and glassy offshore wind, but still just surfable at best.
Sunday the 5th is worse. The morning drops right off to a tiny 2 ft E swell with a long 11-second period, which in theory could be okay, but the south wind is howling at 25 km/h cross-off, making a mess. The afternoon sees a jump to 7 ft S swell, but strong 30 km/h offshore wind and rain showers—the energy jumps to 460 but the quality is marginal.
Now, Monday the 6th of July is where things start to get interesting. The morning brings a solid 10 ft SSE swell with an 8-second period and massive energy (1183). The wind is moderate offshore from the SSE at 25 km/h, so the waves will be clean and powerful. This is big, strong surf—definitely for experienced surfers only, as it's over 8 ft. The setup at Turners Beach (a sheltered spot) means it might handle the size okay, but that much grunt on a beach break will be heavy and raw. It's a standout for the hard chargers.
After Monday, the run continues solid. Tuesday the 7th has 8-10 ft SSE swell, very strong energy (1500-1993), and offshore winds, but it's mixed with rain and marginal quality. Wednesday the 8th is another brute: 10 ft SE swell, 11-second period, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers in the afternoon with moderate offshore wind and a huge energy reading (2252). That's the pick of the week for the crew who love big, lined-up waves.
Thursday the 9th holds similar 10 ft SSE swell and 10-second period, but the quality is more marginal. The afternoon eases to 8 ft SSE with cleaner offshore wind and decent energy (990).
We then have a lull. From Thursday afternoon onward, the swell slowly drops. Friday the 10th brings another solid 10 ft SSE pulse with a longer 12-second period and enormous energy (3511) in the morning, but it's paired with rain and cross-off wind. The afternoon is cleaner with 8 ft SSE and good offshore breeze, excellent for experienced surfers again. After that, from Saturday the 11th, the swell fades to 5 ft and smaller, with lighter winds through the weekend—clean but weak.
From Sunday the 12th through to Tuesday the 14th, the surf drops off a cliff. Heights of 1 ft to 3 ft, poor conditions, onshore winds, and very little energy. That's a three-day dry spell with no real surf.
Then on Wednesday the 15th of July, it roars back. A solid 10 ft SSE swell returns with moderate energy (1772) and clean cross-off winds. The size holds at 12 ft that afternoon, again for experienced surfers only. The rest of the second week sees consistent 7 ft to 8 ft SSE swell with moderate to fresh offshore and cross-off winds, keeping things clean but not quite as punchy as that Monday-Wednesday run. Sunday the 19th offers a nice finishing note with 7 ft SSE swell, gentle offshore wind, and good conditions.
So if I had to pick the true standouts, it's Monday the 6th of July morning and Wednesday the 8th of July afternoon—big, clean, powerful SSE swell, strong energy, and solid conditions for anyone with the skills to handle it.
Rusty out.

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.
