Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.

First off, the wait is going to be a bit of a drag. We’ve got a major gap with pretty much nothing worth paddling out for from now through the rest of today and tomorrow. It’s a quiet start, and you’re better off leaving the board in the shed until we get past this lull.

The real kick-off comes on the July 6th Monday morning. This is the standout window. We’re looking at a solid 10-foot swell out of the SSE, combined with some proper offshore wind. The wave energy is strong here, clocking in at 1385 in the combined energy reading. That’s a powerful, clean groundswell, and with the offshore breeze, it’s going to be a joy. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s not the longest, but the size and clean conditions will make up for it. This is a spot for experienced surfers though—that 10 feet is well into expert territory.

Tuesday the 7th holds onto that size, with 10-foot to 12-foot SSE swell, and even longer periods up to 11 seconds. More energy, better shape, but still big and powerful. The wind stays offshore, so the face will be clean, but this is not a beginner’s playground.

Come Wednesday the 8th, we’ve got a 10-foot SE swell with a beautiful long period of 11 seconds and offshore winds again. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild going on there. The combined energy is at 2186, which is strong. This is a top pick for experienced surfers who want quality, long-period lines.

By Thursday and Friday the 9th and 10th, the swell drops back to a more manageable 7 to 8 feet, still from the SE, with periods around 10 to 11 seconds. Offshore winds linger, and the energy is still moderate to strong. This is where the better-condition surf opens up for a wider range of abilities.

After that, from Saturday the 11th, the waves start fading fast. We drop down to 5 feet and smaller, and the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, poor surf conditions. That run of flat, weak, and messy waves stretches on for several days, right through to around the 15th of July.

There is a slight flicker of life on Friday the 17th, with a clean 3-foot swell out of the S and a period of 10 seconds in the morning, followed by a 3-foot SSE swell with a very long 13-second period in the afternoon. Light winds, clean faces—great for a longboard or a funboard if the sandbar holds.

Then we hit another messy patch into the weekend of the 19th, with onshore winds and chop.

The final note is on Monday the 20th of July. A new 6-foot SSE swell arrives with a period of 10 seconds, combined with light offshore winds and clean conditions. Energy is back to a moderate 545. It’s a promising finish to the outlook, worth keeping an eye on.

Crowds at Turners Beach can show up sometimes, so if you hit that Monday the 6th window early, you’ll have a better shot at getting some clean ones without too much company. But honestly, that stretch from the 6th to the 8th is where the real fire is. After that, it’s mostly small and messy until the very end.

Stay patient, mate. The good stuff is coming.

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.
