G’day, Rusty here. Looks like Turners Beach is our only play for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a decent pulse of swell coming through, but the quality is going to be all over the shop. The water temp is sitting right on average for this time of year at 70°, so nothing weird going on there.

Right now, we’re in a flat patch. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until Saturday the 4th of July. That morning, the south swell bumps up to 5ft, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. It’s a beginner-friendly spot and very consistent, but the crowd factor is there – it can get busy. The swell energy is moderate (411), and with a short 7-second period, it’ll be a bit lumpy but still fun. Saturday afternoon drops off a bit to 3ft, but the wind goes glassy offshore from the SSE, so it’ll be super clean. That’s a real standout session for the clean conditions.

Sunday the 5th is a write-off. The swell drops to 2ft in the morning with strong cross-off winds, and the afternoon jumps to 7ft but the period is short and sloppy. Not worth it.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting – and a bit heavy. From Monday the 6th through Thursday the 9th, we’ve got a solid south-southeast groundswell building. Monday morning hits 8ft with a moderate offshore wind and very strong combined energy (1061). That’s expert-only territory – too big for beginners. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not the cleanest groundswell, but it’s got power. Monday afternoon stays big at 8ft with even more energy (1099).

Tuesday and Wednesday (7th and 8th) keep pumping around 8ft to 10ft, with the energy climbing to extreme levels – Wednesday morning hits a massive 3226. That’s a lot of water moving. The period stretches to 11 seconds, which means better-shaped waves, but at this size, you’re still looking at a heavy, powerful ocean. These days are for the experienced crew only. The winds are cross-offshore, so it won’t be perfect but it’ll be clean enough.

Thursday the 9th afternoon is another standout – 8ft from the SSE, 10-second period, with a moderate offshore breeze. That’s a solid, clean wave with good energy (1135). If you’re an expert, that’s your best window.

After that, the swell slowly winds down through the weekend of the 11th and 12th, dropping to 5ft and then 3ft. The winds stay clean, but the energy fades. From the 13th, we hit a flat spell – nothing but tiny, choppy junk for several days. A little blip of energy on the 14th with 6ft and a 10-second period, but the cross-shore wind chops it up.

The 15th brings another big pulse – 8ft from the south with a long 11-second period and strong energy (2509). That’s a groundswell, and at a beach break like Turners, it might break a bit too straight. Still, for experts on the right bank, there’ll be some bombs. The rest of the second week fades into smaller, wind-affected junk, with nothing really standing out.

Overall, the best on offer is Thursday the 9th afternoon for size, clean conditions, and solid energy. Monday the 6th morning is also a good call for the same reasons, if you’re happy tackling the size. Don’t bother with the first few days or the final week – it’s mostly flat or messy.

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.
