The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
Well, it's a bit of a slow start, to be honest. For the next few days, we're looking at mostly poor conditions with some small, messy swell. There’s a real gap in quality here. The real action starts to build later in the week, and we’ve got a couple of promising windows further out that are worth keeping an eye on.
Let's start with the first proper surf we get. Thursday afternoon the 13th of August, Turners Beach is where you wanna be. The swell comes up a bit to 6ft from the SSE, and we’re getting a solid offshore wind from the SE. That’s a clean setup right there. The combined swell energy is moderate (497), but the wind is the real story. It’s gonna be glassy and clean, offering some really nice, rideable waves.
Now, the next big standout. Keep your calendar clear for Thursday the 20th of August. This is the one that’s got me talking. On Thursday afternoon, Turners Beach is looking at a solid 8ft swell from the ESE, with a clean offshore wind from the South. The combined energy jumps way up to strong (1151), so there’s some serious power in the water. This is expert territory for sure, but if you’ve got the skills, this is the best session on offer. The swell is a groundswell with a 9-second period, so it’ll have some shape and punch.
Turners Beach is very consistent, so it’s always got something, but crowds are possible here. The water temp is 68°, which is about average for this time of year, so a springy is all you’ll need.
From the 21st of August through the 22nd, the swell settles back into the 5ft to 7ft range from the East, with clean winds. It’s good, fun surf, but nothing that’s gonna blow your mind compared to that big day on the 20th. The end of the month, around the 25th, looks like it could be another fun one with a long-period 12-second swell from the East, but the winds are a bit iffy and it’s a long way out, so don’t book your flights just yet.
So, bottom line: tough start, but stick with it. Thursday the 13th afternoon gets things going, and Thursday the 20th afternoon is the absolute standout for the crew who can handle it.
Stay stoked,
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.
