Turners Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so we gotta pick our moments.

The pattern starts with a moderate pulse of energy from the southeast, but don’t get too excited early on. The first real chance to wet a line comes Thursday, July 9th. The morning shows a clean 8ft swell from the SE at 10 seconds, but it’s a cross-off wind and the notes say conditions are marginal. The afternoon looks better with a solid 8ft SE swell, cleaner offshore winds from the SSE, and the combined energy is pumping at a strong 1009 (moderate wave energy). That Thursday afternoon window is the real first standout.

Friday, July 10th, builds on that. The morning drops a little to 6ft but the wind is a cross-off. The afternoon is the absolute pick of the first week: 8ft from the SSE, a long 11-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the south. The combined energy jumps to a very strong 2139. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The water is sitting at 70°, which is about average for this time of year.

After that, things go quiet. From Saturday, July 11th, through to Wednesday, July 15th, we’ve got a real dead spell. The swell drops right off, with heights under 3ft and weak energy (as low as 26 in the combined energy). The wind is all over the place, mostly cross or cross-on. It’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations.

We get a tiny pulse back on Thursday, July 16th, with a 4ft S swell in the morning, but the conditions are described as ordinary. The afternoon sees a 6ft S swell with offshore wind, but it’s still not great.

Now, hold onto your board for the second week. The real heavy stuff arrives on Friday, July 17th. A massive 15ft groundswell from the SSE, with a very long 12-second period, and strong offshore winds. The combined energy is through the roof at 4231. This is expert-only, big, powerful, and hard to paddle into. It’s a true standout for the big-wave crew.

Saturday, July 18th, is the biggest day of the entire forecast. The swell hits 16ft from the south, 12-second period, and the combined energy is a monstrous 11983. The wind is strong offshore. This is not for the faint of heart. It’s a clean, powerful, and dangerous setup.

The swell slowly eases into Sunday, July 19th, with 12ft to 10ft, still with offshore winds, but the energy is still significant. By Monday, July 20th, it’s dropping to a more manageable 6ft from the SSE, with clean cross-off winds, offering a much better window for the average surfer.

The final few days, July 21st to 24th, see the wind swing onshore and the conditions turn choppy, with the swell size jumping around but the wind ruining the quality. The last real chance looks like Thursday, July 23rd, with an 12ft ESE swell and a cross-off wind, or Friday morning, July 24th, with a 10ft ESE swell but a light cross-on wind.

Stay safe, pick your days, and don’t get caught out by that big stuff.

Rusty.
