The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Turners Beach has for us over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, there’s a lot of flat and ordinary, but a few bright spots are worth locking in.
Right now on Thursday July 30th, we’ve got small waves. A weak 4ft S swell with a short 7 second interval, energy reading 230. It’s clean though, with a 15 km/h offshore. Water temp sits at 68°, right where it should be for this time of year. Not a standout, but a very average, easy surf.
Friday July 31st afternoon is the one to get wet. Swell pushes to 5ft from the S, still short period, but the wind goes full offshore at 20 km/h. Energy hits 467 (moderate power) and the call is good conditions. That’s your first real highlight.
Saturday August 1st afternoon keeps the run going. 6ft of SSE swell, 9 seconds, offshore wind at 20 km/h. Energy at 513. It’s a solid moderate groundswell, but the place can get a few heads, so expect some company.
The absolute best of the bunch is Sunday August 2nd afternoon. Only 4ft of swell, but check the period – a lovely 14 second groundswell from the SE. Energy is 783 (strong power) and the wind is a light offshore at 10 km/h. That combination makes for clean, lined-up waves with proper push. It’s small in height but huge in quality. This is the session to pencil in. Crowds are possible.
From Monday August 3rd things go downhill. Onshore winds and dropping energy. Tuesday the 4th through to the 14th of August is a long stretch of poor conditions. Swell heights fall below 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. There’s a brief glassy moment on Thursday the 6th with a weak 3ft S swell, but the energy is low at 215. Just a very ordinary paddle.
The tail end of the forecast on Friday August 14th afternoon shows some promise. A 5ft S swell, 9 seconds, with a clean offshore wind at 10 km/h. Energy hits 587, which is solid moderate to strong. That’s the first glimmer in two weeks, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising but not locked-in prospect.
To sum it up: Sunday arvo is the winner. Friday arvo is your second best. The middle two weeks are largely a write-off with a big gap of no-surf. The late Friday signal might save the final stretch, but we’ll see how that shapes up.
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.
