The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here.
It’s been a bit quiet to start, but we’ve got a pretty good run building at Turners Beach. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The first real opportunity comes Monday morning, the 24th of August. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is glassy from the WSW. It’s not going to blow your mind, but the conditions will be clean. The combined energy is weak though, only 173, so it’s more of a longboard session.
Things start to look a bit more promising towards the end of the week. Thursday the 27th sees a bump in size, with a 5ft SSE swell piling in by the afternoon. The wind is offshore from the SSE, keeping it clean. The combined energy jumps to 367, which is moderate. It’s surfable, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so don’t expect barrels.
The real standout is the weekend. Sunday the 30th of August is looking like the pick of the bunch. By the afternoon, we’ve got a 5ft swell from the SE with a gentle offshore wind. The combined energy kicks up to 451, which is a solid moderate wave energy. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s got a bit of push. This is the best on offer – clean, fun, and a good size for everyone.
Looking further ahead into the first week of September, there’s a bit of a lull. We get a few glimpses of surfable conditions, but nothing that really stands out. Tuesday the 1st of September has a glassy morning with 4ft from the east, but the session is short-lived as the wind switches onshore in the afternoon. After that, it’s a lot of poor conditions with choppy winds and weak swell until the 8th of September.
Tuesday the 8th of September has a glassy morning again, with a 5ft SSE swell, but it’s a short period again. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 6ft, but it’s described as marginal, so keep your expectations in check.
For a beginner, most of the smaller days (under 5ft) are fine, but when that swell hits 5ft, it’s starting to get a bit more serious. Keep an eye on the wind. The crowds can be a factor at Turners Beach, so expect some company.
That’s the story. Stay stoked.

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.
