The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a quiet start ahead, but there’s a couple of real gems hiding in this 16-day window for Turners Beach (Turners-Beach). The water temp is sitting at 68°, about average for this time of year—nothing unusual there.
The first few days are pretty average, but it’s not until Saturday, August 1 that things start to pick up. That morning you’ve got a clean 1.8m (6ft) SSE swell with light offshore winds, moderate energy (564), and a 9-second period. It’s consistent and the offshore breeze means clean lines. That afternoon stays solid with similar size and conditions. This is the first standout: decent wave height, clean, and the SE optimum swell direction matches up nicely.
Sunday, August 2 is another good one—morning delivers a clean 1.0m (3ft) SE swell with a very long 14-second period, light offshore winds, and strong energy (771). That long period groundswell will wrap in well here, and the light breeze will leave it glassy. The afternoon is similar with a 1.1m (4ft) SE swell and 13-second period. This is the best on offer: clean, consistent, and the long period really brings the power.
Monday, August 3 sees a 1.6m (5ft) SE swell but with onshore NW winds in the morning, so it’s messy. The week after that drops off into smaller, weaker surf until Wednesday, August 12. That morning you’ll see a 2.5m (8ft) SSE swell with cross-offshore SW winds, very strong energy (1125), and clean conditions. That’s a solid, punchy swell but at 2.5m (8ft) it’s for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds similar size with 877 energy and clean cross-off winds.
The rest of the second week has some lumpy, crossed-up conditions with bigger swell but tricky winds—nothing to get too excited about.
Best bet: hit Sunday, August 2 for that long-period groundswell and clean glassy conditions. Saturday, August 1 is your backup with clean offshore winds and consistent waves. The bigger stuff on August 12 is for the crew who know what they’re doing.
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.
