The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let’s talk about the next couple weeks for Turners Beach. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but there’s a definite highlight to aim for.
We start flat and messy. Tuesday and Wednesday are mostly a write-off with cross-onshore choppy junk. But pull your head in for Thursday afternoon, 17 September. That’s the real deal. You’ll find clean, head-high sets around 8ft pumping out of the SSE with a 9-second period. The combined swell energy is strong at 1160, and the wind is fresh offshore from the SSE at 25 mph. It’s a sheltered break, so those offshores will groom it perfectly. Expect some very good conditions while it lasts. Water temp is a normal 69°F – no anomalies to worry about.
Friday morning, 18 September, is another chance, especially if you like it small and perfect. The wind goes dead calm – glassy conditions – and the swell holds at a clean 5ft from the SSE. Energy is a lot lower at 414, but it’ll be a fun, clean morning session. Just know the crowds can show up “sometimes”.
Everything after that drops off a cliff. From Saturday onward, it’s mostly knee-to-waist high slop, with wind shifting onshore or cross-shore most of the time. The second week is a total dud. There are a few glassy mornings but with tiny, weak waves. Wednesday 30 September morning is glassy with a 4ft wind swell, but it’s poor quality.
This is a classic quiet spell. It never stays like this forever. Check back in a few days.

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.
