The Lowdown

Righto, grab a coffee and let’s talk about what’s cooking at Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First up, the water temp is sitting at a fairly average 68°F, nothing unusual for this time of year, so no need to dig out the steamer just yet.

Now, the good news: there’s actually some solid swell coming in. But the timing and the wind are going to be the big talking points. We’ve got a real meaty pulse arriving this Sunday morning, the 19th of July, with a solid 13ft of SE swell, a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at (3494). That’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is offshore from the SSE at 22 mph, which would normally be a dream, but the data calls this “marginal” – it’s likely a tide issue or the size just making it a tricky beast. Still, for the big-wave crew, that Sunday morning session has serious potential. The swell drops a touch through Sunday afternoon but stays solid at 10ft.

Monday the 20th shapes up as the standout of the entire run. The swell holds at a consistent 10ft from the E, period still a juicy 10 seconds, and the wind is a solid offshore SSE breeze at 15-16 mph. The wave comment says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers” and I’m not going to argue. The energy is still very high (2105-1674). This is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s pumping. But look, 10ft is well over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experienced lot – beginners should sit this one out.

Tuesday the 21st sees the swell ease back to 6ft, and conditions are still clean with light offshore winds. It’s still surfable and a better option for the intermediate crowd, but not the highlight.

From Wednesday the 22nd through Thursday the 24th, things go a bit pear-shaped. The swell drops right off, and we get cross-shore or onshore winds, making for poor surf. A tiny spike on Friday morning the 24th gives us 7ft from the S, but the period is a short 7 seconds and winds are cross-off, so it’s pretty ordinary.

We then hit a quiet spell. From the 25th through to the 31st of July, the swell stays small and inconsistent, mostly under 3ft, with a mix of cross and onshore winds. There are days with glassy conditions, like the morning of the 27th, but the swell is just too weak – 3ft with 11-second period, but the energy is only (315). It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but not worth the drive.

The next real event rolls in on Saturday the 1st of August. The afternoon session picks up a clean 5ft SSE swell with a very long 14-second period, offshore winds at 12 mph, and energy ramping up to (701). That’s a nice clean, lined-up swell – likely peeling nicely off the points and reefs, as that long period makes it break a bit straight at the beach. It’s a promising finish to the forecast, but being a week and a half out, I’d call it a promising prospect rather than a sure thing.

The following days into August 2nd and 3rd drop back into the small, ordinary range.

So, bottom line: Monday the 20th of July is your absolute best bet – big SE groundswell, clean offshore winds, expert-only territory. Sunday the 19th is also a big one, but keep an eye on that tide. And Saturday the 1st of August is one to watch for the longer term. Crowds at Turners Beach can be a factor sometimes, but with this size and wind, a lot of the crowd might be put off, so you could luck out.

Stay safe out there. This is 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.
