The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of decent, clean swell kicking off Friday, July 17th, at Turners Beach. The water’s sitting at 69°F, which is about average for this time of year – nothing wild there.
The real standout is Sunday, July 19th. That morning you’ve got a strong 13ft SE swell, period pushing 10 seconds, and a fresh offshore breeze from the SSE. The wave energy is pumping (3342), and the break is very consistent and sheltered. This is a big, powerful swell though – over 8ft, so this is strictly for experienced surfers. The offshore wind is a major plus, keeping things clean. Expect some crowd, as it’s known to get busy.
The Saturday before, July 18th, is also worth a look. The morning has a solid 10ft SE swell with a fresh offshore – big, clean, but again, expert territory. The afternoon kicks up to 13ft with a strong offshore, but the wind gets stronger (25 mph), making it hard to paddle into and a bit of a battle.
Monday, July 20th, the swell starts to ease but remains clean. The afternoon sees a 8ft E swell with a moderate offshore, and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s a nice window for intermediate to advanced surfers.
From Tuesday, July 21st, the swell drops steadily. You’ll still get surfable waves, but the energy fades. By Wednesday, July 22nd, conditions turn poor, with small, weak swell and cross-shore winds. From Thursday, July 23rd, through to the end of the month, it’s flat to tiny – small 0.7ft to 3ft swells, low energy (under 300), and mostly messy wind. There’s a long gap of no real surf from July 22nd right through to July 31st.
The first week of August starts with a small bump on August 1st afternoon – a 6ft S swell, but it’s period is short (6 seconds) and the wind is cross-shore, so it’s not great. A kite surfer might get something out of it, but for paddle surfing, it’s a write-off.
In short: your best bet is Sunday, July 19th morning at Turners Beach for the big, clean, expert-only waves. Saturday, July 18th and Monday, July 20th are solid backups. After that, it’s a long wait.
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.
