The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a slow start. The first real chance to get wet is Friday morning, July 24th, but it’s not much to write home about. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the SSE with a short, weak 6-second period, and the wind is offshore but blowing a solid 25 km/h. That'll keep the surface clean, but you’ll be fighting that breeze on the paddle. The swell energy is pretty average (245). This spot is sheltered, so it’s a beginner-friendly wave, but that short period makes it a bit messy. I’d probably give it a miss.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is where it gets a little more interesting. The swell drops to 5ft, but the period jumps to a very long 15 seconds—that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy reads a strong 1037, so there’s plenty of power. The wind is light and cross-on from the WNW, so the surface will have a few ripples. That long period means the waves will hold up well, but at a beach break, it can straighten out. Still, it’s the best-looking session in the first week. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

The rest of the week is mostly small with clean conditions, but nothing to get excited about. The only other real standout is a week away—Friday morning, August 7th. That’s far out, so keep that in mind, but it’s looking promising. The swell is 6ft from the ENE with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 568. The wind is glassy—dead calm. That’s the kind of morning you want to be in the water. The waves will be clean, but at 6ft, it’s getting a bit punchy for beginners. Good for an intermediate surfer.

Then, on Saturday morning, August 8th, we’ve got a big one. The swell hits 13ft from the east with an 11-second period. The combined energy is a massive 3570. That is serious, heavy surf. The wind is calm, glassy. This is only for experienced surfers—if you’re not solid, stay on the beach. That kind of power at a beach break will be moving fast. It’s a standout, but it’s a long way off, so don’t bank on it just yet.

Overall, there’s a long quiet spell, then a couple of decent windows. The best of the near-term is Saturday morning, July 25th, with that long-period groundswell, and the real prize is the glassy morning on August 7th, with August 8th being a big-wave day for the crew who can handle it.

Stay safe out there.

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.
