The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin’ at what’s comin’ down the pipe for the next couple weeks.
First off, the water is 69°, right where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there, just your usual numb-fingers feel.
Alright, so the outlook is a real mixed bag. We start off with a few days of surf that’s just about enough to get wet, but nothing to write home about. Friday the 28th through Monday the 1st of September sees some knee-to-waist high waves, mostly around that 3ft to 6ft mark from the SSE. The energy is moderate, but not pumpin’. The winds are mostly cross-off or offshore, so the surface will be clean, but the waves themselves are pretty ordinary – a bit fat, a bit weak. The Saturday afternoon looks the best of this early run with a clean 5ft wave and offshore wind. Still, it’s not gonna get the heart racin’.
Then we hit a flat spell. From Tuesday the 2nd through to Sunday the 7th, it’s pretty grim. Waves drop to under 3ft, often blowin’ onshore and choppy. You’ll be starin’ at a lot of lumpy, un-surfable water.
But then, hold on to your board. Monday the 7th of September, things flip completely. We get a big pulse of swell. Monday morning is the standout. We’re lookin’ at a solid 13ft wave from the SSE, with a ton of energy behind it. The wind is light and from the East, keepin’ things clean. This is a strong, expert-only wave. That size is way over 8ft, so if you’re not a pro, stay on the sand. This is the one to point your car at if you’ve got the skills.
It stays big through Tuesday the 8th, with 8ft SSE swell, but the wind on Tuesday afternoon turns nasty, a fresh 19 mph cross-onshore from the NE. That will chop it up and make it a messy paddle. The mornin’ might be worth a look if you can handle the size and the slight cross-onshore drift.
After that, the swell fades fast. Wednesday the 9th through the rest of the outlook drops back to small, poor, or onshore junk. Not worth the drive.
So, the bottom line: the first few days are for a cruise, then a long flat gap, then a massive, expert-level spike on Monday the 7th. If you’re a charger, that Monday mornin’ is the only real show in town. For everyone else, it’s a waitin’ game.
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.
