The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, same deal for Turners Beach but in feet and miles.

This is a pretty quiet stretch overall, but there are a couple of windows that could get you wet if you’re keen.

Thursday the 27th is a full washout. Some clouds, cross-off wind, and a weak 5ft swell with no push. Not worth paddling out. The afternoon sees a little life with offshore wind and 5ft waves, but still very ordinary with a short period.

Friday the 28th morning is the pick of the early days. The wind goes glassy, swell is 4ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is solid. Clean, mellow, and good for a beginner or anyone on a log. The afternoon stays clean but gets a cross-off breeze.

Saturday is a mess with rain showers, and the swell stays small.

Now Sunday the 30th is a standout. Morning brings 6ft from the SSE, 10-second period, and strong energy. Offshore wind is blowing, so expect some proper lined-up waves. This is a bit much for newbies but anyone comfortable in overhead surf should get the best session of the next ten days. The afternoon stays good at 5ft.

Monday the 31st morning is weak, but the afternoon turns it on with offshore wind and a clean 4ft swell. Solid energy. Worth a look after work.

Then we hit a long dry spell. From Tuesday the 1st of September through Monday the 7th, it’s mostly poor. Swell drops under 3ft, periods get short, wind turns onshore or cross-on, and the energy is weak. A few glassy mornings on the 4th and 5th show tiny 2ft waves, just barely rideable.

The next real chance is Tuesday the 8th of September afternoon. Swell jumps to 6ft from the NNE, but with a very short 6-second period. Still, the energy is good and the wind is cross-off, so you’ll get punchy, if crumbly, waves. Better for experienced surfers.

Wednesday the 9th of September morning is glassy with a 6ft swell from the south, a short period of 7 seconds, and strong energy. The glass will make it clean, but that short period will keep it quick and a bit fat. The afternoon gets messy.

The final days fade into small, weak surf. Overall, nothing epic, but Sunday the 30th and Tuesday the 8th are your best shots. Keep an eye on the glassy mornings for smaller, clean fun.

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.
