The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the table for Turners Beach over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, it’s a lean start and a long wait for anything worth getting wet for. The first real action doesn’t kick off until Sunday the 30th of August, and even then, it’s a bit of a mixed bag.

We are looking at a very quiet first week, with only small, underwhelming surf. The standout session of the entire period looks to be the morning of Friday the 11th of September. That’s when we get a pulse of 7ft swell from the SSE, clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, and the energy jumps to a solid 524. That’s the one to circle on the calendar – a bit of a longer wait, but it’s the best chance for a proper session. The morning of Saturday the 12th of September also has a chance with clean 4ft SSE swell and a solid 416 energy reading.

For the rest, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. The water temp is sitting around 68°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Let’s break it down day by day.

Sunday the 30th of August: The first surfable waves show up in the afternoon. A 4ft SSE swell with a 9-second period, clean with a gentle offshore wind. The energy is moderate at 337. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. This is your best bet for the first week.

Monday the 31st of August: A small 4ft SSE swell in the morning but the wind is cross-off, so it’s messy and a no-go. The afternoon cleans up a little with a 4ft SSE swell and offshore wind, but it’s still very ordinary.

Tuesday the 1st of September: Morning glass-off with a tiny 3ft SSE swell. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean as a whistle, but you’ll be scratching for waves. Energy is only 221. Afternoon turns to junk with a 25 km/h cross-onshore wind.

From Wednesday the 2nd through to the 10th of September, it’s a grim stretch. Most days are small, choppy, or have onshore winds. The few clean windows – like Thursday the 10th of September with a 5ft NE swell and cross-off wind – are still ordinary. The energy is moderate but the conditions just aren’t coming together.

Friday the 11th of September: This is the one. Morning brings a 7ft SSE swell, clean with a cross-off breeze, and the energy is pumping at 524. It’s a solid, powerful swell, so it’s more for experienced surfers – beginners should sit this one out. The afternoon drops to 5ft but stays clean.

Saturday the 12th of September: Morning offers a clean 4ft SSE swell with a glassy feel and 416 energy. It’s a good, clean option, but the afternoon goes messy with cross-shore wind. The swell period jumps to 11 seconds, which is nice, but the wind chops it up.

From Sunday the 13th onwards, the swell fades to small, clean leftovers with long periods (12 seconds) but barely any size. The 14th of September has a small 2ft SSE swell in the morning, clean, but it’s weak. The afternoon picks up a 5ft NE swell but it’s short period junk.

Overall, the second week has the only real standouts, and they are more for the crew who are keen to wait. For the first week, it’s pretty much a write-off. If you are a beginner, the Tuesday morning glass-off is as good as it gets, but the waves are tiny. For everyone else, hold out for the 11th and 12th.

Rusty out.

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.
