Turners Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a proper pulse of swell arriving, but it’s gonna kick off with some size and a fair bit of juice behind it. The water temp is sittin’ at 70°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothin’ wild there.

The real action starts Tuesday, 7 July. It’s not perfect – there’s light rain and a cross-off breeze – but the swell is a solid 12ft from the SSE with an 11-second period. That’s a lot of power, and the combined swell energy is a hefty 5002. This is expert-only territory; way too big for beginners. By Tuesday afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the south at 19 mph, which cleans it right up, but it’s still a big, meaty 12ft wave.

Wednesday, 8 July is the standout. We’ve got a 10ft SE swell, still with that long 11-second period, and a solid offshore breeze blowin’ all day. The conditions are set up clean and the wave energy is still strong at 2448. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but if you’re not confident in overhead lumps, give it a miss. Crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so you might have a few others out.

Thursday, 9 July sees the swell drop a bit to 7ft, but it’s still got some push. The morning has a cross-off wind, but the afternoon turns offshore and clean. The energy drops to 1201 – still moderate to strong, but the quality isn’t quite as good.

From Friday, 10 July through the weekend, the swell starts to fade fast. Friday morning is 7ft but messy; Friday afternoon is a cleaner 6ft. By Saturday, 11 July, we’re down to 4ft with a light cross-shore breeze – not great. Sunday, 12 July is even smaller, with 3ft waves and poor conditions.

Then we hit a dry spell. From Monday, 13 July right through to Tuesday, 21 July, the surf is tiny – mostly under 3ft, poor quality, and hardly any energy. There’s a solid 9-day gap with nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for.

On Tuesday, 21 July, the wind picks up strong from the west at 19 mph, and the swell jumps to 8ft from the south, but it’s a messy, lumpy cross-onshore mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-surfing one. The energy is 1672, but the conditions are junk.

Wednesday, 22 July has a 6ft swell with a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s still marginal and not worth gettin’ excited about.

So, to wrap it up: Wednesday, 8 July is your best bet. Hit the early morning or afternoon for clean, offshore conditions and a solid 10ft SE swell. It’s a ripper for experienced surfers, but keep an eye on the crowds. After that, it’s a long wait for the next pulse.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
