The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. It's been a bit of a slow stretch for Turners Beach, and if you're looking for solid surf over the next week, you're going to be mostly disappointed. We've got a long quiet period ahead, but there's a glimmer of something special way, way out on the horizon.
The pattern for the first week is pretty grim. The surf is small to tiny, often under 3 feet, and the energy just isn't there. The combined swell energy barely gets into triple figures at its best. The first few days through to the end of next week will see you staring at flat, weak lines. There's a gap of several days where there’s really nothing worth paddling for. A few windows show some clean conditions, like Sunday the 27th afternoon with a light offshore breeze, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. By Thursday the 31st, there's a spike in size, with swell hitting around 5 to 5.5 feet from the SSE, but it's short-period windswell, under 8 seconds, and the energy is moderate at best (427 to 441). It might be surfable but it's not going to be quality.
From Friday the 1st of August right through to the 8th, it's a wasteland. Tiny waves, weak energy, and mostly poor conditions. You’re looking at knee-high slop for over a week.
But hold onto your board, because the true standout is sitting way out in the forecast. On Sunday the 9th of August, all hell breaks loose. We've got a proper groundswell arriving from the SSE, pumping at a solid 15 feet with a long 13-second period. The combined wave energy is a massive 11715, which is some serious ocean power. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the south, which means it should be clean. This is going to be for expert surfers only – this is way too big for beginners. The long period from the SSE will work well here, providing long, clean lines for those with the nerve. It's a long-range call, so treat it with a bit of caution, but if it comes together, it'll be the one session of the whole outlook. It's the only window that's worth your time.
Stay patient and keep your eyes on that Sunday forecast.

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.
