The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there. The vibe overall? It’s a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We’ve got a week of pretty ordinary, small stuff ahead before things start looking a bit more promising into the second week. There’s a real dry spell from the end of this week stretching into early next week where you’d be better off waxing your board and watching the horizon.
The best chance of a decent wave is shaping up for the morning of Thursday, September 10th. We’re looking at a solid 5ft swell out of the SSE, with a clean 10-second period, and the wind will be offshore and light. That’s a proper recipe for clean, well-shaped lines. The combined wave energy will be moderate but solid at (439), and the water is likely to be clean as a whistle. This is a standout, no doubt.
Another session worth an early look is Wednesday afternoon, September 9th. It’ll be a bit punchier with 5ft of SSE swell, but the wind will be a stronger offshore, maybe making things a little skittish. Still, it’ll be surfable and clean, with moderate energy (406). A good option if you can’t wait for Thursday.
The rest of the first week is pretty underwhelming. From Sunday, August 31st right through to the morning of Thursday, September 4th, conditions look poor with tiny waves or messy onshore winds. There’s a glimmer on Tuesday, September 1st, with tiny 3ft surf and glassy conditions, but it’s barely a knee-high dribbler. Not worth rushing for.
Into the second week, after that good spell around the 9th and 10th, things fade pretty quickly again. There’s a small, glassy window on the morning of Saturday, September 12th with 3ft SSE swell and no wind, but the energy is weak (181). A fun little cruiser for a log, but nothing to get excited about. After that, the winds turn messy and the swell gets confused.
Bottom line: if you’re picking a day, make it Thursday, September 10th. It’s the clear winner.
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.
