The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks at this spot.
Right off the bat, things are pretty quiet. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, with nothing really worth paddling out for over the first few days. Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th offer some small, clean waves around the 3ft to 4ft mark, but the energy is weak and the conditions are just ordinary – nothin’ to get excited about. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Thursday the 30th sees a jump in size to 5ft–5ft, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the wind is up, making for messy, sloppy surf.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday the 31st of July is the standout. The morning brings a solid 8ft S swell (12 second period), and the combined swell energy is 2383 – that’s strong stuff. The wind is light, offshore from the SSW, and it’s glassy. This is proper groundswell, with a long period, meaning better shaped waves and more energy. However, at 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers – beginners best stay on the beach. The afternoon drops back to 5ft, still clean, but the morning is where the magic is.
Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd of August hold onto some decent size (5ft–6ft) with clean, offshore winds, especially the afternoons. The energy is moderate to strong, and the period is good (10–12 seconds). These are solid, surfable days with clean conditions, but the Friday morning is the real winner.
After that, things taper off. Monday the 3rd starts with a glassy 5ft, but it’s ordinary, and the rest of that week drops back into the small, weak, and poor category. The second week (from the 4th onwards) is mostly small, with short-period, weak swell and only a few moments of clean but mediocre surf. The 9th and 10th of August show a little bump back to 4ft–5ft with light winds and better period, so keep an eye on that, but it’s not a stand-out.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a bust, then Friday the 31st of July morning is the one to circle on the calendar – a strong, clean, expert-level groundswell. Saturday and Sunday are good runners-up. After that, it’s pretty quiet again.
Rusty.

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.
