Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about Turners Beach in feet and miles per hour.
The first few days are duds. Friday the 3rd is flat and choppy, not worth a look. The weekend stays tiny and ordinary. Nothing really fires up until Monday the 6th.
The standout hits Monday morning. Swell comes in at around 10 feet from the SSE, with a clean offshore wind. The energy is pumping (1127), so this is heavy-duty surf. Only for the experienced. Water temp is about 70°, which is normal for this time of year. Monday afternoon drops to around 8 feet, still clean.
Tuesday the 7th stays solid with 8 feet of SSE to SE swell, and the period stretches to 11 seconds. That's real groundswell, good shape and power. The energy jumps to 1790 Tuesday arvo. Wednesday the 8th is even bigger—morning has 8 feet SSE swell with an 11-second period and energy of 3019, which is massive. The afternoon cleans up nicely with about 7 feet from the SE and a solid offshore wind.
Thursday the 9th backs down to around 5 feet, but it's still clean with a light offshore. Friday the 10th is similar, 5 feet and clean. Saturday the 11th is smaller, around 3 feet, but surfable.
Then we hit a slump from Sunday the 12th to Wednesday the 15th—tiny, weak, and mostly messy. Skip it.
The next real gem is Thursday the 16th afternoon. About 6 feet of SSE swell with a very long 14-second period, and the wind goes glassy. Energy is 1314, so plenty of power. The long period means well-spaced, powerful sets, best on a point or reef. Friday the 17th still has 5 feet of SSE swell with a 12-second period, worth a paddle.
Saturday the 18th has 6 feet of SSE swell but the wind is blowing 25 mph offshore. Clean faces, but a real battle to get out.
Best bets: Monday the 6th through Wednesday the 8th for big, clean power, and Thursday the 16th for glassy, long-period perfection.
Rusty out.

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.
