The Lowdown

Righto, let’s talk about Turners Beach.

Alright, looking at the next 16 days for Turners Beach, it’s a mixed bag. The first few days actually have some decent size, but the quality drops off a cliff after that. There’s a bit of a window early on with some clean, offshore winds, but then it gets a bit messy for a while. The standouts are definitely the first day and a half, but after that, we’re waiting for a long stretch of ordinary conditions before a promising little pulse of long-period groundswell shows up right at the end.

The best surf on offer kicks off Tuesday, July 21st. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell from the east, with a period of 10 seconds, pushing a moderate amount of energy into the beach (786). The wind is a gentle breeze out of the south, which is offshore here, so the morning session is looking clean. The water temp is about average for the time of year. This is the pick of the week. The afternoon holds up well too, with 6ft from the east and a light SSE breeze keeping it clean. The swell energy is a bit lower (649) but still solid.

Wednesday, July 22nd is where it starts to fall apart. The wind swings to the west-northwest in the morning, becoming cross-onshore, and the swell drops to 5ft. By the afternoon, it’s a choppy mess with a moderate breeze from the northeast. Not one for the board.

Thursday, July 23rd through to Monday, July 27th is a long stretch of small, weak surf. Swell drops to between 2ft and 3ft, and while the wind is often light and clean, the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. The energy readings are all in the low hundreds, which tells you it’s struggling.

Friday, July 24th afternoon does see a jump in size to 6ft from the south-southeast, but the period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a short, weak windswell. The wind is offshore, so it’s clean, but it’s not the kind of power that gets the heart pumping.

Saturday, July 25th is a weird one. There’s a massive spike in energy (1125) from a 4ft, 16-second south-southeast groundswell in the morning. That’s a very long period, which usually means real power, but the wind is a light cross-onshore, putting a ripple on the face. It’s a frustrating tease.

From Sunday, July 26th all the way through to Wednesday, August 5th, the surf is mostly poor to marginal. There are a few days with clean conditions, but the swell is tiny and weak. The energy readings are well below 500, and often below 300. You’re looking at a long, flat spell.

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Friday, July 31st afternoon sees a new, very long-period groundswell from the south-southeast, with 3ft at 18 seconds. The energy is moderate (431) and the wind is a gentle offshore from the southeast, making for clean conditions. This is a standout for the second week. That long period will likely wrap in nicely, but remember, that kind of period can be a bit straight for a beach break. It’s a promising option, but as it’s 10 days out, treat it as a hopeful call.

Saturday, August 1st also holds some promise with a similar 4ft, 15-second swell in the afternoon, clean with a light offshore breeze. Again, a long-range standout, but worth noting.

Overall, the first two days are the clear winners. The rest of the window is a wait-and-see game, with a couple of interesting, but distant, possibilities at the very end. The stretch from the 28th to the 30th is a proper blank run, so don’t be surprised if it’s a flat spell.

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.
