The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s talk about what’s on offer at Turners Beach.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a real mixed bag coming up. The standout window is the first couple of days, but there’s a long, flat spell in the middle you’ll need to dodge. The water’s sitting at 68°, which is bang on average for this time of year—nothing unusual there.

Monday the 20th is where it’s at. We’re talking a solid 10ft swell from ESE, with a long period of 10 seconds, and it’s packing some serious energy (2271). The wind is blowing offshore from the SSE at 16 mph, keeping things clean. That’s a heavy, powerful wave though—over 8ft, so this one is for experienced surfers only. It’s a sheltered spot, so it’ll handle that size alright, but don’t expect a friendly wave for beginners. The afternoon backs off a touch to 8ft, still clean and offshore.

Tuesday the 21st sees the swell drop to head-high 6ft in the morning, easing to 6ft by the afternoon. The wind stays offshore, just a gentler breeze. The energy is still moderate (786), and it’s a much more manageable size. This is your best bet for a fun, clean session without the raw power of the day before.

Then we hit a gap. Wednesday the 22nd through to the end of the month is mostly poor. The swell drops away, wind turns cross or cross-on, and the quality just isn’t there. You’ll see a few tiny pulses, but nothing worth paddling out for. Saturday the 25th has a quirk—a very long period 17-second swell from the SSE, but it’s only 2ft, so it’s more of a bump than a wave. The winds are light, but it’s marginal.

The real kicker comes on Monday the 3rd of August. A big pulse of 10ft swell from the SSE rolls in, with a 13-second period and massive energy (2448). But here’s the catch—the wind is onshore from the north, and that’s going to chop it up into a mess. The afternoon stays big but gets cross-onshore at 16 mph. For a beach break at that size with dodgy wind, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.

Tuesday the 4th of August drops back to 5ft, but again, onshore wind and cross-onshore breezes kill the quality.

So, the pick of the window is Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st of July. Monday for the big, powerful, clean groundswell if you’ve got the skills, and Tuesday for the cleaner, more manageable waves. The rest is a write-off until that first week of August, but that’s less certain and the wind looks rough.

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.
