Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turners Beach over the next 16 days.
Hey mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a slow start. Saturday the 11th shows some waist-to-chest-high 4ft swell from the southeast, but with a side wind, it’s not clean. The energy is moderate (561 to 783), but it’s just not coming together. Sunday the 12th is a complete washout with onshore winds. From Monday the 13th through Wednesday morning the 15th, the surf is basically flat or tiny – a full four-day lull of nothing worth paddling out for.
Things get heavy from Wednesday afternoon the 15th. A solid 8ft swell from the SSE rolls in, but with the wind screaming at 22 mph from the south, it’s a messy, blown-out mess. That’s for the kiteboarders, not us. From Thursday the 16th morning through Friday the 17th afternoon, the wind turns offshore from the SSE. We’re looking at 8ft to 10ft SSE swell with strong energy (1059 to 1233), but the period is short at 8 seconds. That’s big, punchy, and expert-only territory. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.
The one to save the date for is Tuesday the 21st. We get a beautiful 7ft east swell with a long 11-second period (1108 combined energy) and clean, glassy conditions thanks to light offshore and side-offshore winds. That’s a proper groundswell. At Turners, a long-period east swell can break a bit straight, but with that kind of clean wind, you’ll find some nice, lined-up waves. The energy is strong and the conditions are prime. This is the pick of the fortnight. Expect a few other folks in the water, since the spot is consistent.
Wednesday the 22nd through to the 26th settles into a nice run of 3ft to 5ft waves, mostly clean and fun, but nothing that’ll have you calling in sick. Good for a log or a fish. The tail end of the outlook fades back into smaller, weaker surf.
Long story short: wait for Tuesday the 21st. Everything else is either flat, blown-out, or just average.
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.
