The Lowdown
Rusty here again. Let’s talk Turners Beach in feet and miles per hour.
Water temp is normal for this time of year, nothing unusual. This spot is sheltered and prefers a south-easterly swell direction.
First proper surf shows up Monday morning, 7th September. Clean 6ft SSE groundswell with a 10-second period, light offshore wind, and combined energy at 649 (moderate). Good for beginners and intermediates.
Wednesday morning 9th September is the standout. Glassy conditions, 5ft SSE swell, 9-second period. Combined energy is 434 (moderate). This is the session to aim for – clean, uncrowded, and fun.
Thursday 10th September morning pushes 10ft with fresh offshore wind. That’s expert only. Afternoon drops to 8ft with very good conditions and combined energy hitting 1165 (strong). Solid for experienced surfers.
Friday 11th and Saturday 12th offer 4ft to 6ft SSE swells with moderate offshore winds and combined energy between 500 and 900. Consistent and clean but not as special as Wednesday.
Then the wheels fall off. From Sunday 13th through to Monday 21st, it’s mostly small, onshore, and choppy. A brief pulse on Thursday 17th September gives a 7ft SSE swell with 7-second period and clean conditions, but it’s average at best. After that, it’s flat or blown out.
Best bet: Wednesday 9th September morning. Glassy, clean, and around head-high. Monday 7th and Thursday 10th afternoon are also solid for the more advanced. The rest is mostly a waiting game.
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.
