Turners Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it for Turners Beach. The first part of the outlook is pretty quiet, with a real gap in proper surfable waves until we get to a big pulse late in the second week. There’s a stretch of days where it’s just flat or too small and choppy to get excited about.

Right now, Monday the 3rd of August has some size – about 5ft from the SE with a period near 11 seconds, and the wave energy sits at 513. The morning is clean with a light offshore breeze. Water temp here is about 68°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The wind goes onshore by afternoon though, and it gets messy quick. Tuesday and Wednesday are both small – knee to waist high – with only brief clean moments. Thursday the 6th through the 7th stays tiny, waist high at best, but Friday the 7th afternoon does offer a small, clean bump with offshore wind coming in. From the 8th to the 10th, it’s still small and ordinary, but clean in the mornings.

The 11th to the 13th is mostly poor – cross-shore winds, short period chop, and not much to work with.

Now, the real standout is Friday the 14th of August. The morning brings 7ft from the S with clean cross-off winds. The afternoon hits the jackpot – 10ft from the SSE, still a short period but with wave energy way up at 1236. Winds are light and off to cross-off, delivering some powerful, clean lines. That afternoon is the best of the whole outlook by far. Because that swell is over 8ft, it’s experts only – beginners need to stay on the sand. Saturday the 15th drops to 7ft in the morning but the wind turns cross-on, so the quality suffers. The rest of the outlook fades back into small, clean but unremarkable surf.

So, your call to action: make the afternoon of Friday the 14th. Everything else is just filler.
