Table - best surf conditions forecast for Turners Beach over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same stretch of time at Turners Beach, but in feet and degrees.
The first week is a slow grind. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 feet, with weak energy readings as low as 48 and only reaching 238. The swell direction is bouncing around from ESE to ENE, and while the wind is light here and there, the waves are just too small and messy to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for this time of year.
The one real standout comes on Thursday morning, 14 August. A solid pulse of 6 feet from the SSE with a long 14-second period and a combined energy of 1301. Winds are light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the biggest swell of the whole 16 days. Thursday afternoon cleans up even better, with light offshore wind from the ESE and a 4-foot SSE swell at 12 seconds. That’s your best window – clean, good shape, and the energy is solid at 564. Tuesday morning, 11 August, offers a brief moment of glassy conditions with a 3-foot S swell, but it’s short-lived and the energy is only moderate at 221.
Into the second week, you’ll see a few afternoons with offshore winds and waist-to-chest-high waves, like Friday 15 August afternoon with a 4-foot SSE swell and clean offshore breeze. But the energy is still moderate at 313. The pattern is a lot of clean but unremarkable surf. If you’re picking one day, it’s 14 August. Everything else is just waiting for something better.
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.
