The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Turners Beach.
We're staring down a 16-day window, and honestly, it's a bit of a slow burn. The first few days are pretty ordinary, with small, weak swell and messy conditions. The real action, the stuff worth paddling out for, doesn't kick in until the end of July and into the first week of August. There's a gap of really poor surf from the 27th through to the 30th of July, so don't bother rushing down there.
The first day that's worth a mention is the afternoon of Thursday the 30th of July. We've got a 4ft swell from the SSE, pushing in with a moderate wave energy (237). The wind is offshore, which is a huge plus, keeping things clean. Wait, that's only a 1 out of 10. Let's not get too excited.
No, the first real standout is Friday the 31st of July, in the afternoon. The wind is offshore from the south, and we've got a 4ft swell from the south with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 415. The call is for "good surf conditions." It's a solid, clean option.
Then we roll into the weekend. Saturday the 1st of August has some light rain, but the wind is offshore and the swell is a consistent 5ft to 5ft from the SSE. The energy is still moderate (389, 387). It's surfable, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary," so keep your expectations in check.
The real standout of the whole forecast, the one you should circle on your calendar, is Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning has a 3ft swell from the SE but with a very long period of 14 seconds, and the energy jumps up to 548. The wind is a light cross-offshore. The afternoon is even better: a 4ft swell from the SSE, also with a 14-second period, and the energy is a solid 687. The wind is light cross-offshore, and the call is for "good surf conditions" both sessions. That long period means the waves will have real shape and power, perfect for a beach break like this. It's going to be clean as a whistle. That's your winner.
Monday the 3rd of August is a bit mixed. The morning is a bit iffy with a cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with a 3ft SE swell, 11-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. Another good option.
The surf hangs in there through the next week. Thursday the 6th of August afternoon sees a 6ft swell from the SE, with light cross-offshore winds and moderate energy (411). That's a decent size, clean, and it's a "good surf conditions" call. Friday the 7th of August has a similar 6ft to 6ft SE swell, and the winds are light and offshore or cross-offshore. The energy is moderate (413, 371). It's a solid run of clean surf.
The biggest swell of the forecast hits on Saturday the 8th of August. We're looking at a 7ft to 7ft SE swell with a 9-second period. The energy is strong (737, 842). Winds are light and cross-offshore. This is powerful, clean surf, but at over 7ft, this is getting into expert territory. Not one for the beginners. That's your big payoff for the patient.
After that, the conditions start to fall apart. Sunday the 9th of August has a 7ft SE swell, but the wind goes onshore and then strong cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The rest of the second week is a write-off with poor conditions and small, weak swell. The energy drops right off, with readings as low as 89. So, the window is really from the 31st of July through to the 8th of August.
The water temperature at Turners is sitting at 68°F, with a negative anomaly of -0.7°F. That's basically bang on average for the time of year, so no need for a thicker wetsuit just yet.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
