The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty again. Let’s break it down for Turners Beach in feet and miles per hour. Water temp is 20°—about normal for this time of year. The swell will mostly come from the SSE, close to the SE direction this sheltered beginner break likes. Expect clean mornings and some bigger pulses.
Monday 7 September morning: 6ft SSE at 9 seconds, light cross-off wind—nice start. The afternoon drops a bit. Tuesday 8 September: morning 7ft with a short 6-second period, offshore wind—not great. Afternoon improves to 8ft SSE at 8 seconds, still offshore. Wednesday 9 September morning is glassy, 5ft SSE at 9 seconds—clean and fun. Thursday 10 September morning brings a big one: 12ft SSE at 9 seconds, offshore south wind at 19 mph, energy huge—only for experts. Friday 11 September morning: 10ft SSE at 8 seconds, offshore, another expert session. Saturday 12 September morning: 7ft SE at 7 seconds, offshore, easing. Sunday 13 September morning is the all-round standout: 6ft SSE at 10 seconds, cross-off wind from the SE, clean and consistent—perfect for intermediates.
Second week gets smaller. Monday 14 September drops to 3ft, poor. Tuesday 15 September tiny. Wednesday 16 September picks up to 6ft SSE at 8 seconds with offshore wind—decent. Thursday 17 and Friday 18 have some size but onshore winds. Saturday 19 September afternoon goes glassy with 4ft SE at 10 seconds, small. Rest of the run is marginal. First week is where it’s at—especially Sunday 13 and Friday 11 mornings. Rusty out.

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.
